I use Boreal Fires.  These shoes were the best available for a while and
very popular among climbers.  They claimed took the title away from the
EB's a couple years ago.  Recently, a number of new climbing boots have
made their way to the market, many of whom are just as good, if not better
than the Fire.  One draw back among climbing boots is that they aren't very
good for very much else.  One manufacture of tennis shoes has come out with
a combination climbing shoe and all purpose sneaker.   I forgot who it is.
Basically, you are looking at an investment of anywhere from $40 to $100
when looking for a shoe.  Climbing magazines often have reviews of the
various shoes on the market.
