Numbness/tingling in feet?

I have had my cyclocross bike since the end of May. I have crankbothers eggbeater sl's for pedals, and keen springwater shoes. My rides usually are around 15-20 miles, and almost every time if I stop half way or at the end, my feet have fallen asleep. I have messed around a bit with adjusting saddle height, and I also bought a pair of Hincapie bibs recently. As much as the bibs have helped with comfort (I will never go back to shorts), I still find my feet falling asleep. It's weird because I don't notice too much while I'm riding, it's when I stop. Not sure if it is my fat ass crushing some nerve in my perennial area, or some other factor. Any help/opinions/suggestions would be great! FWIW I'm 6' 305lbs. I also was just looking at some new saddles the other day at Ben's Cycle in Milwaukee (top notch store) and I really like the Brooks Swift saddle I tested. Curious about a San Marco Rolls/Regal though too.
