bouldering shoes 21-Jan-2010 At 8:21:57 PM snydas22

Hey guys
Well im a boulderer, thats all i do other than alittle climbing gym stuff on wet days. Anyway iv got a pair of cheaper Bufo V-machine boulder specific shoes tho am not sure im that keen on them now my performance/style has improved, so im looking at a new pair of velcro shoes. Im looking at getting chris sharmas Evolve optimus prime as its got a radical down turned toe and designed for steep slab, roofs, overhangs etc. The only thing im not keen/sure of is is it better for a bouldering shoe to have no midsole, and a thiner sole up front and no lining, or to have a mid sole, lining?
I definatly wont be buying anything without a radical toe angle but if you can let me know your thoughts on the above it would be great as im still a newbie(3.5months).
cheers
