So far I've had a pair of Boreal Stingers (bought too small — they really don't stretch too much and don't hold a stretch), 5.10 Moccasyms (great all around slipper with awesome rubber) and these La Sportiva Cobras.

Gotta love the Cobras--favorite shoe so far. I like the Moccasyms but they stretch too much and the sizing from left to right is weird. These Cobras have plenty of sticky rubber and they fit wonderfully. You can edge on tiny edges, and they smear well, they can also be worn on multipitches (2 or 3 at most) but beware of foot pain when doing that. I love them and will most likely get another pair soon (rubber almost gone) or get them resoled in some C4!! Look for them on sale and you won't regret the purchase.
