Sure someone probably did say that, people say a lot of things it doesn't make any of it true for you. Specialized makes great saddles but everyone's butt is different and also some people are really really really bad at reviewing saddles as they probably just slap it on the bike and don't adjust it properly or let themselves get used to it.

I hear all the time "that saddle is uncomfortable" from someone who hasn't even ridden on it ONCE and only are parroting bad advice from someone who probably doesn't know what they are talking about. Saddles are a very personal thing but in the end you have to ride it and adjust it and then make determinations when you first look at saddle all you can tell me is what it says on the saddle and beyond that you are going to be pretty blind. If you get one that is the right size for your sit bones. ride it a bunch and make sure it is adjusted or get a fitter involved so you can actually get it properly adjusted you can then know "OK, this saddle just isn't for me".
