So what shoe would you say could give Nfinity a good run for their money?

I've been through about every brand of cheer shoe known to mankind...so here's my cheer shoe encyclopedia..
Kaepas- I've only ever used the ones with the blue grips on the bottoms (circa '02?..do they still make those?), and they were great from what I remember. Held up pretty well too.
Nikes- Used these for school cheer..hurt my feet a ton. Nike cheer flash were very narrow and SO heavy. I guess they were good for sideline cheer though because they definitely held up well and were very easy to clean being they're basically made of plastic..
Reebok- I got a severe foot injury and my doctor recommended the high tops for me, and they were pretty comfy for practice but I couldn't imagine them holding up for competitions through an entire season. Were cheap and only about $40 though.
No Limits- We had their nicer shoe with more leather, and they were awful. I ordered a size big because the person fitting us said they ran small, but by the third time I had worn them, they were stretched out past a point of no return and were literally 2 sizes too big. I recommend that if these are required by your gym, get a half size or whole size down because they stretch out sooo much. Oh and my teammates had holes in their bottoms and their toes were peeping out of the top of the shoe by the third month having them...company was nice and replaced them though.
Varsity- First time wearing them, and they're ok. We got the last pass shoe this season. It has taken a very long time to break them in. Practicing in them about 20 times wasn't enough so I wore them around my house a couple times...and they're still not broken in, so I only wear them to comps because I'm required. They hurt my feet because the sole just won't get soft. My feet don't sweat as much though lol.
Nfinity- lord praise nfinity. There's only one shoe I've not liked by them called the "Tyger"...and I've owned almost all their shoes since 2003. The only reason I didn't like that shoe was because it was super bulky and almost as heavy as Nikes...but their shoes literally form to your foot after you wear them a bunch and they get so comfortable. So yeah.
Evolutions. I've not heard one review on the vengeance saying they lasted a season without holes.So what shoe would you say could give Nfinity a good run for their money?

Chasse makes a shoe called "Ace" that looks almost exactly like the Nfinity Evolution. I've thought about trying it for Babydonna for practice, but haven't yet. I think it runs for something like $28.
Thanks so much! CP does love her Nfinitys, and I just bought her a new pair. I am tempted by the inexpensive Chasse shoes, though. Maybe I'll get her a pair just so she can rotate them. I think her feet are about done growing, so it's not like I need to worry about her outgrowing them.I'm an nfinity girl, but I've been trying to keep the costs down for my athletes with the economy, so I've been branching out. I had our prep team test out the kaepa stellarlytes last year and they were fine. I still don't think they match up to nfinity's but they're good enough and have a similar look. After reading about the Chasse Aces on this board I looked into them, and since they're so cheap, ordered a pair. I'm very impressed so far. They look almost exactly like nfinity's but were $25. They also arrived in 3 days! My only complaint so far is that they fit perfectly like a glove around the middle of the foot, and then around the top part of the foot feel looser (or maybe my foot is just narrow.) If they continue to hold up, then we'll be switching to these next season!
Lazydaisytoo I ordered the size I wear in just about every cheer shoe, and its pretty true to size. I could have ordered half a size down and probably still have been ok though. The looseness I feel may actually be because they are a tad to big.
