You will probably have to tell us a little more about what you're using them for to illicit a decent response from the community.
Crack? Gym climbing? Bouldering?
The Five Ten Moccasym will perform than the La Sportiva Cobra or Venom would, so tlel us a little more about what type of climbing you do.
I had a pair of moccasym's for a few months, but blew through the toe a little too quick. Nice shoe, it stretches a ton, but it doesn't edge particularly well. Really comfy though...

I recently bought a pair of the 5.10 anasazi slippers, for mainly sport and some bouldering. They edge extremely well. As with all 5.10 shoes get maybe a half size larger than your street shoe. And if you have small feet they have them on sale for $50 at mgear.com.

Go for the venom for gym and bouldering. It's a better performer than the moccasym, even once broken in.

I strongly reccomend the La Sportiva Cobras, they are a very agressive shoe with awesome power around the toe, perfect for gym, bouldering and overhangs but i dont reccomend them for cracks or multipitch because they will brake your toes.
One thing to remember when buying them is to buy them small, realy small because they will streatch and break in ( i am size 10us street shoe and my cobras are size 6.5us ).
When i bought mine they were as sore as hell they made me cry lol, but i put them in cold water and then wore them till they were fully dry, that helped alot and now after 2 weeks they fit like a glove and i love them soo much !!!!!

I got the Anasazi Slippers about three months ago and i love how they perform. I actually got them to just use in the gym, but i ended up using them at Smith Rock during spring break instead of my Anasazi Velcros. I got mine a half size small because they are lined so they will stretch a little while your wearing them and then they go back when you take them off. But, because they're lined they'll stink like crazy. They're also cheaper than almost all other climbing shoes.

I've owned the following:
2 pair of 5.10 Moccasyms
2 pair of 5.10 V10s
1 pair of Cobras
1 pair of Evolv Agros
The Moccasyms are the most comfortable and smear the best. The V10s are the most downturned and highest performance by far, but hurt the most. The cobras are all around solid. The Agros are very V10ish, but better made with slightly inferior rubber.
Allez. Homard.
