Description

Find your happy place on a big rock while wearing the climb-it-all Mythos.

Tighten the around-the-heel lacing system of the La Sportiva Women’s Mythos Climbing Shoe and get an all-around, precise fitting shoe for climbing any rock in the canyon. The soft, unlined leather upper surrounds your foot with enough stretch to allow foot swelling during long multi-pitch routes, while the perforated arch and Dry-Best lined tongue help wick and vent excess foot sweat as you climb. For long belays and rests on big walls, the full-length LaspoFlex midsole adds strength and cushioning so you can reenergize before the crux. The Mythos’s medium-curved shape, pointed toe, and excellent edges allow superior grip on footholds of any shape or size thanks to the 4mm Vibram XS Grip2 outsole.

I've been using these shoes for years and really like them!

The good: They are super comfortable.
The bad: (1) They will stretch a lot. Buy at least a full size down. (2) The laces are much longer than you'll every need. The fabric on my laces eventually ended up getting engrained with chalk and lost all their elasticity - although this probably isn't a shoe specific problem. (3) If you're an indoor or sport climber, you'll probably want to trade them in eventually, as they're not very precise.

So hyped on this purchase! I've been running around in my new climbing shoes at work just to make sure they're the right fit for me, they're perfect! I normallly wear a size 7(US) size 38(EUR) and I bought the 38, I could solidly go down to a 37.5 and be comfortable, since they're definitely going to stretch. (broke my pinky toe a little while back though, so i'm sticking with the 38) LOOOOOVE THESE SHOES

next purchase, definitely getting these again, and buying at least a half size smaller.

These shoes are wonderful! They fit amazingly- I will almost always stick to lace-up shoes for my "base" pair because they are very versatile. The rubber is good 'n sticky.

I bought these for my special lady friend and she put them to the test on a 13 pitch route in Squamish right out of the box. They're probably her 10th pair, and she still loves them. As long as they fit your feet, you can't go wrong with these shoes... unless you're a boulderer.

I love my Mythos! I totally trashed my last pair on numerous routes in Red Rock Canyon, Indian Creek, Eldorado Canyon, Prescott Granite Dells, and the Oak Creek Overlook. Spending up to 15 hours in my shoes at funky belays, shoving my toes into cracks at the creek, smearing along the Solar Slab, and tiny edges in Prescott, I've found comfort in my Mythos. My hands are always first to give up because this shoe allows for me to climb in comfort all day long. The best multi-pitch, and even craggin' Trad shoe ever made. I tried a more technical shoe, but the compromise for comfort made it so I couldn't climb as hard for as long. I'm selling the technical shoes, and paying full price for the Mythos. They're worth every penny!

Recently put these back on after about a year of climbing in more aggressive shoes...They felt smooth & soft like butter, stuck to the wall like gum. I forgot how much I love to climb in them. For everything but steep overhangs they're awesome - and SOOOO comfortable.

sizing: street shoe is 7.5-8 US women, got these in 37.5...could have done 37 easily & still been comfortable after break-in. also, i have wide feet w/ weird bumps -these will lace to fit anything comfortably.

I will buy these shoes again and again. They're a great trad shoe and would make an excellent all around beginner shoe as they're not the least bit painful. I've had my Mythos for two years now and have thoroughly loved them. They are super soft and comfortable and work well for everything but overhangs and intense edging. I mostly use them for crack and mellow slab climbing. Although they don't have any padding in the toe for jamming, the rubber wraps up high enough to keep the toe pain to a minimum. They also work great on LCC granite slabs- when they stop sticking, I just wipe the soles down with some rubbing alcohol and they're good to go again.

These shoes stretch about a full size within the first couple weeks of use, and then they never really stop stretching. I have pretty wide feet so I originally bought the men's version of this shoe (the orange ones). Once they stretched out they were too wide for my feet so I ended up with this women's model. The lace wraps all the way around the shoe opening and makes it easy to keep them tight, even though mine are loose for all-day comfort. I usually wear a women's 10 and a 41.5 in these is perfect for me.

My only complaint with these shoes is the difficulty of re-threading new laces. Even through I unthreaded the first two eyelets, climbing cracks eventually wore through the laces near the toes. There are no real eyelets in these shoes besides the first two, so the new laces have to be threaded around the entire shoe and through the leather grommets (you can see this in the stock photos). It takes a really long time.

I hope La Sportiva never stops making these!

I'll buy these forever

I am a shoe salesperson's nightmare. I have very skinny feet. Used to be a triple A width but, now that I'm almost 55 my feet have spread to a AA. Plus, my heels are very narrow as well. Having the shoelace of the Mythos wrap around the heel I am able to adjust the tightness I need for a great fit. The lace up shoe provides the comfort of sizing to my width. Some say the lace up shoes are inconvenient but for me, no other shoe fits as well!

I've been climbing for a year now and I've had these for about 7 months now for indoor climbing and bouldering. I have an extremely narrow foot and my heel/achilles tendon area looks almost straight up and down, so it was important that these were narrow enough and wouldn't dig into my ankle. These met both requirements.
I usually wear a size 10 street shoe and I got a size 41 (9.5). They were a tiny bit too tight when I got them, but they stretched out and now they fit perfectly. I can wear them for 2 or 3 hours, walk around a bit, and still feel fine in them. Compared to other shoes I've worn, these are perfect and I will most likely buy another pair once these are worn out. Overall, they match other people's reviews of them that I've read.

La Sportiva climbing shoes run 2-2.5 sizes smaller than your actual US size. According to the sizing chart on the Miura, I would be a 40. This is far from true. For example, I wear an 8.5 US, but am rockin' a 6.5 US (37.5 Euro) Miura. I guess it is a personal preference, but in the Mythos, I am wearing a 5.5+ (36.5 US). Because this shoe is leather, it WILL stretch between .25-.5 in size and will mold to your foot, so size down a half size if you can. The shoe is mildly painful right now but will break in to be perfect. This is not an aggressive shoe, meaning, it is not intended for overhanging and tiny crimpy climbs. I would definitely recommend it for multi-pitch climbs, sport or trad. Hopefully this helps you make your decision!

Love these shoes. I've had them for about a year (indoors about 2x a week, outdoors a few times a season), and they're still holding strong.

They're a good all-around shoe. They're not too aggressive.

Lots of climbing shoes dug into the back of my ankle. These didn't!

I'm usually a 7.5. I got a 39.5 in these. I probably could have gotten a 39, but I wanted a bit more comfort. I'm a recreational climber, and I'd rather have shoes I can wear for a few hours without too much pain than super-tight shoes with slightly better control.
