La Sportiva Mythos Climbing Shoe - Men's DO NOT USE
July 8, 2009
I have a pair of each (Aces and Mythos). The primary difference is that the Mythos are slip lasted (and will stretch to fit your foot), and the Aces are board lasted (so they will not stretch to fit your foot. I climb more frequently on the Mythos because they are pretty great for almost anything. I'll switch to the Aces if I want more edging confidence and need to stick my toes in little incut holds. I really dislike the Aces on slabs (scary!) because of the stiff board lasting. BTW, I climb mostly trad and some sport.
