I've been climbing regularly in a climbing gym for 3 or 4 months now and I've been using Sportiva's mantis shoes, however I've noticed that I have a hard time staying on jibs and even more trouble trying to toe hook when I'm on overhangs. I'm trying to decide between these, the galileo, or the mocassyms which I see a lot of at the gym (or even another really good shoe). As i live in Indiana I won't be doing much outdoors climbing, but maybe some bouldering. Any sugestions?

These are definitely a huge jump in performance both from what you have and the other shoes you mentioned. One thing to be aware of is that La Sportiva and Five Ten cater to different foot shapes, so I highly recommend trying them on in the shop and then buying online. If you decide you do like Five Tens though, these are awesome shoes. If you want crazy aggressive shoes (and again, only if you feel like Five Tens really fit your feet), go for the Jet 7. I've been climbing those for over a year now on tons of different stuff and I love them. If you want to post another question with more specifics about the kind of climbing you'll be doing, I can make more specific recommendations and give you a few pairs of equivalent shoes from 5.10 and Sportiva so you can compare. Hope this helps for now though.
