La Sportiva Mythos Climbing Shoe - Men's

Excellent performance and comfort have made the La Sportiva Mythos one of the most popular trad climbing shoes on the planet. Pulling on a pair of Mythos is like slipping into fuzzy slippers, but slippers don't give you the incredible friction of Vibram XSV rubber. The patented lacing system locks your foot in place for a precise fit on highly technical routes, but their comfort is what makes them a favorite of trad masters everywhere.

Bottom Line: Twelve pitches of steep cracks are a walk in the park when you wear the La Sportiva Mythos Climbing Shoe.

Comfort Shoes

By: MBHladilek (2)

Less technical but made to wear the entire day. Ordered 1/2 size smaller than street shoe and it fit well even after they stretched. I wish I could find this fit in a high top or even find a decent high top anymore (sob, I miss my Chouinard Canyons, are you old enough to remember?) I'm tired of taping my ankles. Overall pleased with the purchase and grateful to past reviewers, they did not steer me wrong.

Regarding sizing, does it also apply that I should go a size smaller in La Sortiva mountaineering boots?

Flawless?

By: Anonymous (4)

I have had my mythos only a few short months. I had La Sportiva Cliffs previously, and sized these 1.5 sizes smaller than my Cliffs. They were really uncomfortable at first but they stretched to fit perfectly. Definitely size them almost too small. They do stretch in length a little bit. They do not have as much support as most shoes which can take a week or so to adjust to. They smear really good and just eat thin cracks. I find they edge pretty good as mine are so tight. The pattern is pretty cool. I worry about how I could possibly re-thread the laces if they broke! I prefer a slightly higher heel but the mythos heel holds very tight.

I love my Mythos

These are my first pair of climbing shoes and I love'em. They break in nicely so don't be afraid to go down a size to a half size. That was a recommendation from a good friend and I'm glad I took it.

This shoe fits better than a glove. I love how the lace goes around the heel so you can cinch your heel in. These are the best trad shoe I've ever had. I would order a size or so smaller than sneaker size because the leather on these stretches out after a while.

Mythos Comfort Plus

By: Anonymous (21)

I thought climbing shoes were supposed to hurt? I'm a newbie at all this climbing stuff but this shoe definitely rocks. I tried them on at REI for sizing and settled on a size. I spoke with a friend and he said if that I should go a half size lower than I felt comfortable in. I did and after three climbs they've broken in nicely. My wife got the women's version and she's pleased as well.

Fantastic Shoe

By: dntmeswthtexas (1)

as simple as i can say it... love 'em. I have been climbing and never have to take a brake or take out my heal, the shoe is so comfortable....along with that the design allows you to tighten up the heal which provides extra control and bring the shoe as snug as you can get around the ankle. The shoe is amazing and has improved my climbing a lot!

tried and true.........

By: stashyboy (1)

Mythos have been my favorite shoe for 8 years. They don't do anything perfectly, except stay comfortable, but they do pretty well at most things - edging, smearing, cracks. They may not be the most high performance shoe out there, but they are the best marriage of all facets for my money. There's a reason they've been making them for so long and have developed such a loyal following.

best trad shoes

By: captainsims@msn.com (5)
December 17, 2006

these shoes rock it for all types of climbing anywhere from bouldering to some multi-pitch trad. But when it comes to trad is when these shoes shine. I have used these things for the past year for my trad and i couldnt be happier. They rock because of the comfort and the ability to stick to anything. These things rock my socks off

Super Shoes

What can I say about Mythos that hasn't already been said. If you can only have one pair of shoes, these are the ones. Any style of climbing works well in these shoes and they stay comfortable all day.

Sweetness

By: rocktea (1)

They fit like a glove, and stick like glue. They have handled everything i've thrown at them easily. It makes me sad to think about not having them. Buy about a half size smaller - they stretch. But that just makes them fit even better after a good break-in session or two.

classics stay around

On my second pair. These things are great for long routes and wearing for a while. Not the most aggresive shoe but just think about what they were climbing in back in the day.

Very versatile

By: shaus (2)

The Mythos is an outstanding climbing shoe! It is comfortable after several solid sessions of climbing and very versatile. This is definitely not the most aggressive or technical shoe out there, but it will get the job done. It is the same great shoe from years before, but it is no longer purple!
