Anasazi Verde / Tenaya Masai VS Moccasym for Slab and Small cracks

Hey guy's I already have some (truck load) of shoes for climbing but I don't have a good shoes for hard slab climbing and small crack (under camalot 0.5/purple)

I don't know if the Verde or the Moccasym will be better... I can get these at the same price so the Verde seem interesting but will they perform as well compared to the Mocc since they are designed mostly for face/technical climbing?

I will have to fit these comfy for crack and slab so I loss a bit of the techy side of the Verde... (I also looked at the Tenaya Masai but the Verde seem really close to it)

What do you think? Verde or Mocc for my needs?

Thanks!

It depends on what kind of slab you are talking about. The Verde has a slingshot rand and a high volume heel. The idea is that it pushes your foot forward and giving you maximum power at your toes, but it puts a lot of pressure on your achilles if you size the shoe right. Not good for lower angled stuff.

If you size the shoe comfortably, then you will have a lot of dead space in the heel. Your toes will slide back away from the front of the shoe if you try to stand on micro edges or stuff them into tiny cracks.
