La Sportiva Focus -- By Steve Matthys
If you want a shoe that can edge like none other then this is your shoe.  Although some complain that it is too stiff I have found that with a little breaking in these shoes are pretty comfortable.  These shoes are not for people with wide feet.  Since last year La Sportiva has made the sole 1mm thinner.  Which gives the shoe more flexibility.  These shoes are great for edges, but can not handle cracks to well because of its boxed in toe.  All in all this is a pretty good shoe and i am happy with it.  Hopefully you will be happy with a pair of these too.  If you decide to buy them.
Boreal Diablo -- By Steve Matthys
These are by far the most comfortable pair shoes I have ever had.  They take almost no time to break in, and once they do break in you will think nothing of hiking down in them.  Which is more then you can say about most shoes.  The only problem I had with them is that the laces seemed to attract thistles.  I was always pulling things out of the laces.  These shoes are great beginner shoes at a price that can not be beaten for this quality of shoe ($110).  If you are a beginner I suggest buying a pair of these.
5.10 Mocs -- By Steve Matthys
These shoes are sweet for bouldering.  I just bought a pair of them and they work great.  They fit like a glove and grip the smallest shit you will ever see.  And seeing as how I am in college and have no money to spend.  The fact that they are $100 makes them even better.  The final selling point is the Stealth C4 rubber that 5.10 puts on there.
