If I where to buy shoes, that would not be the question I ask first.
1) I would try both shoes on for fit and comfort.
2) Then I would try them on the store’s climbing wall to see how well their particular characteristics match my climbing style.
3) Then I would consider the benefits to lace-ups, Velcro or slippers.
Personally, I hate bothering with tones of laces, but its way better then having to deal with slippers that soften and stretch WAY more then any climbing shoes should. I haven’t owned any Velcro shoes so I can’t comment on those.
When I bought my 5-10 Moccasins I could not for the life of me, fit my foot into the smaller size, so with that said it stands to reason the size I did buy was extremely, painfully tight. They are so loose now that I feel unsafe climbing in them, I can’t trust me feet unless I’m on a ladder. GARBAGE.
So, I got new shoes this time with laces so that even after they stretch I will have some control over how tight they fit my foot.
I bought La Sportiva Miuras because they fit great, they proved to be bomber on thin ledges and they have a really unique lace pattern that I feel is much better then the standard.

go with the anasazi velcro's they have been around for years and are incredible shoes, but it really comes down to fit.
