Fit Tip
Fit Tip for the Mythos Climbing Shoes: The La Sportiva Mythos fits narrow with medium fit asymmetry (the curve of the shoe). The Mythos has a last with a neutral profile. After six months of regular use, the Mythos will stretch a full Euro size.
Description
The new La Sportiva Mythos might have the same color scheme as its popular previous predecessors, but slip your foot inside and you'll discover a new level of comfort. La Sportiva replaced the metal eyelets near the toe with webbing loops for enhanced comfort in cracks. A new Dri-Lex® tongue wicks moisture away from your skin, keeping the tops of your feet drier than before. You'll also find a little less rubber around the outer shank, which improves the power of the slingshot rand. Whether you do sport climbing or a more traditional approach, the redesigned Mythos will have you doing it more comfortably than ever before.
- Unlined leather upper
- Dri-Lex® tongue
- Slip lasted construction (RN25 last)
- Supportive and sensitive 1.1 mm. Laspoflex midsole
- 4 mm. XSV sole with a 1.8 mm. SXV Rand
- Weight: 9 oz. per shoe in women's size 7

Great climbing shoe...buy it! I bought the men's shoe even though I'm a woman because I liked the purple better. Since the sizes are European, this wasn't an issue. The shoe has great support and conforms well to my foot.

Great fit! I can wear these shoes for long periods without much discomfort, unlike with other climbing shoes. Often my climbing mates have to take their shoes off at the top of the climb, or even the pitch, while I can continue wearing mine the entire time. These shoes provide very good grip and the lace running around the ankle provides an excellent, snug fit!

Best all-round shoe ever I have used many different shoes and have found the Mythos to be the only shoe I have loved on every type of rock and climbing style. If they fit your foot well then you will use them everywhere.

Great for narrow feet I have narrow feet and tried a few other brands. Mythos offers the best fit. It even fits better than the women's narrow model from other brands.

A good all around climbing shoe. A very comfortable all around shoe. The unlined leather helps it mold to your foot. Great for long free routes that involve a little bit of everything; face, crack, OW...etc. The Mythos is also very durable if you resole before wearing through the rand.

Great fit with flat toes! This is just my second pair of climbing shoes...but WOW, what a difference the Mythos makes! The Mythos are comfortable for my thin, long feet - and I'm not forced to curl my toes. The toe box is snug but roomy enough for comfort. They fit like a glove & grip very well. Highly recommended!

A great shoe for women, too! These are the first pair of climbing shoes I've purchased, and I think they are amazing! Though they're offered in women's as well, I found that the men's version has a great fit. The lace-up design allows for adjustable snugness and the most comfort I've found in a climbing shoe... these will be coming with me on many, many more climbing trips.
