La Sportiva are "the Solution to your bouldering problems!" ;)

I am a bit of a shoe whore so here is my 2c on all things bouldering shoe

Scarpa Inferno - Shit for performance, but good comfortable all day shoe
Bufo Weapon (old version) - Beginner shoe only
5.10 Anazasi - Awesome for slab/smear/all day wear.. You will suffer toe hooking in the cave with their thin upper, and heel is average
Mammut Goblin - Very very good.. Only dramas was the heel when they first came out which I think they have now fixed...
Scarpa Vision Velcro - Sweet all around shoe.. Solid heel, comfortable with performance, found the toe a little blunt but thats just me
La Sportiva Venom - Awesome for edging and front on steep problems. I found the heel average
La Sportiva Muira (lace) - All around solid performer... Can do most problems in these
La Sportiva Solution - My pick for a bouldering shoe... If sized correctly, these will do anything.. Solid toe rubber (on top), 1 piece heel (so no material deadspot), PPP tech in toe box - basically your toe is in a toe doewn power position whilst your foot is flat... These also fit my heel the best

Mates have also had success in teh Scarpa Styx slipper
