Best womens intermediate bouldering shoe?

I've been searching for a new womens shoe to replace my pair of beginner climbing shoes. I want something that is aggressive enough to make improvements but still comfortable enough to wear for 1 to 2 hours at the gym. Any recommendations? 

womens la sportiva miura, miura vs, kataki, or otaki all fill the not super aggressive, but still somewhat aggressive shoe. the miura and kataki have a laces, whereas the miura vs and otaki have velcro, also the otaki has some rubber on top of the toe for toe hooking
additionally the scarpa arpia is made in mens and womens and is advertised as an intermediate or transitioning shoe from flat to aggressive

Ignoring the fact that your shoes are not going to improve your technique, you need to try on shoes and see what works for you.  Anything slightly downturned fits the semi-aggressive profile, and everyone makes something in that category.  I like 5.10 and vibram rubber, other friends prefer other options.  Tenayas just fit for me, while a friend can never get a pair to work for his foot.

For my second pair of climbing shoes (first pair of aggressive ones) I got the la sportiva skwamas and they're great. I could probably downsize them another half size but right now I can keep them on for almost my whole gym session taking them off every once in a while. Definitely worth checking out in my opinion. 

Thanks for the suggestions, now I have a better idea of what to try on. I realize that improving technique is not all about shoes, but my beginner shoes have stretched out over time and it will give me more confidence to have a more moderate shoe.

That is a different issue.  Did the shoes stretch out. or did you get shoes too large to begin with that then just broke in?  Leather uppers will stretch a bit, while synthetics don't, so keep that in mind when you size them.  Lace-ups let you customize the feel around your foot a bit more, while velcro closures are easier to put on and take off (generally).  I am still going to say that most companies make a decent boot, and how it fits your foot is most important, so there is no one "best."  If you have a local shop with a decent supply, talk to them about what you don't like in your existing shoe and see what feels best on your foot.
