Customer Reviews La Sportiva Mythos

Good Shoes - I'm on my 5th pair of Mythos' and they are without a doubt the best all-around shoe out there. They fit snugly enough for hard stuff yet are comfy enough for all-day adventures. Their only problem is that they have an amazing propensity to stretch - my first pair was a 42.5 that fit snugly and I'm now down to a 40.5 that has stretched out nicely. (I wear an 11 normally.) So fit these shoes TIGHT cause they will stretch!

This shoe is poorly designed which leads to great discomfort. The shoelace eyelid by the toes is metallic and presses against the toes which leads to great pain. Further, they rust over time which doesn't help the problem.

The all around, all day shoe if you have Morton's toe or Greek style feet. One full size down from my street shoe has me climbing in comfort. So in love with this lacing system as it allows for a perfect contour to your foot. There's a reason this shoe has been virtually the same for 25 years.

I like this shoe. I normally wear a 42 street shoe and 40.5 in these feels nice right out of the box. I expect a fair bit of stretch though so might have to size even smaller. only negative is I found the heel was a bit loose for my taste (feels like it could pop easily with a heel hook).

These shoes are amazing. The lacing going all the way down to the toe and around the heel allows for maximum snugness while also not pinching your feet at any point. The toes are pointed enough to be useful climbing shoes, but are not super-arched and will not kill your feet during longer sessions.

I am pleased with the shoe purchase and customer service. I would recommend both product and service to anyone seeking my experience in this purchase. I wear a 9 medium US. My order came in a 42 medium European size which is a 9 medium. It was too small for me. I had to reorder in a 42 1/2 which felt much comfortable for me.

You cannot go wrong with this shoe. It will mold to your feet and you wont walk away hobbled. They are stiff enough to handle anything from super technical to all day multi-pitch. I have a dozen pairs of shoes and these are always the ones that don't let me down.

These are all day comfortable, for big walls and multi pitch, but also aggressive enough to tackle some 5.10-5.11c and V6's with out wishing for a more aggressive point. The do stretch, but because they are leather and natural color you don't end up with weird looking stinking feet, I wear a 9.5 to 10 depending on the brand and wear the 41.5 in the mytho's.
