I am on my third pair in a little over 10 years and these are still my favourite all around, all day comfort rock climbing shoe....

great climbing shoes.
aesthetically pleasing.
great for catching edges.
comfy. la sportiva put out one very capable climbing shoe. i'd recommend em.

My absolute favorite thing about these shoes was how they fit, and how the lacing worked. They are longer and narrower than other shoes I've used, and did stretch out. But the lacing system on them can be adjusted to get the fit perfect. In the end they have been my favorite all day shoes. I've spent hours in them at gyms and outside. They held an edge pretty well, really liked how they smeared. For higher performance I prefer the Miuras, but you really can't go wrong with these ones.

Great all day shoe. I know so many people that climb with these, so I gave them a try for a solid weekend of climbing. The can be very comfortable, or fairly aggressive. I had them sized down half a size, and found them to be comfortable after a little time in them. The rubber was really nice, smeared super well. Held a decent edge, but not as good as some shoes I have tried. Since I'm still a little new to the game, I can't offer a good comparison between 5.10 and La Sportiva shoes, it's just what works best for you. Heel hooking was good in the Mythos. The heel was really tight in this shoe for my foot, which is a little wider, and gripped me in nice. It also seemed to put power to my big toe in an almost perfect way for my foot size.

These shoes form to your feet like a glove. They will stretch for sure. My foot measures 11" and I wear a 41.5. I wear these comfortable but tight. If you want them to stretch a bit more you can get them wet and climb in them until they dry. The rubber is good and they edge will good. I wear them on multi-pitch trad climbs.

I hate climbing shoes that tighten down too much on my toes - the mythos do not do this and still provide for a very snug fit that allows for a very sensitive and sticky grip.

I can and have worn these all day - great shoes. They kinda look a bit like Indian slippers. 2 seasons deep and they are holding up very well.

Hands down best crack climbing shoe out there! Comfy and yet still has precision edging ability and the heel lace wrap ensures optimum fit.

Upgraded to these from the La Sportiva Cliff. They're a lot more sensitive and more sticky.

I read various places about sizing these down but still was nervous when I placed the order. My ski boots, mountaineering boots, cycling shoes, etc range from 43.5 to 44.5. My first pair of La Sportiva climbing shoes were slightly too big at 44.5. So I ordered the 42.5 and they really fit well! They hurt when I first put them on, and were tight in my first trip to the gym. But after 1 or 2 sessions they are really comfortable - they really do stretch!

If you're looking for crazy extreme, tie your toes in knots, hang from the ceiling vice grips, these may not be the shoes for you. But if you're looking for incredible comfort all day long, no matter what you climb or how long you climb, look no further - these are the shoes for you. I can't imagine ever buying any other brand.
