They claim this shoe will fit anyone, and I believe it is true! My feet have been hard to fit in many other shoe styles, but the flexibility of this shoe and the lacing method makes them fit like a glove!

The comfort level is high for me, I can wear these on a multi-pitch trad route and my feet don't complain when the fun is over.

I hate to jam my feet in cracks but with these shoes it is something I can do without the expected severe pain.

I can stand on smaller edges and get friction on some pretty smooth granite; I think my climbing has improved at least half a grade just by using these shoes!

The mythos is a great climbing shoe that performs great, especially on rock. The friction is great, and they are super durable. The only problem i have is if i climb all day with them my feet throb, could use a liner.

The Mythos is my thin crack shoe because the toe tapers down like a chisel. I also use these for all day granite trad routes. They stretch like mad, but the bigger they are the easier the toe will fit into thin cracks. Mythos are also good at smearing.

I would suggest getting these shoes if you intend on doing all day, easy, trad climbs, or finger cracks that don't have any features you need to edge on.

These were the first pair of climbing shoes i ever owned and i abused them pretty bad, but they did an excellent job hiding the wear. great shoe for someone looking for all day comfort, but you sacrifice performance for the comfort in my opinion.

These were my 1st pair of climbing shoes and I still wear them for crack climbs and long multi-pitch routes. They aren't aggressive, but help teach you to have good foot technique on more technical climbs.

I have beat the hell out of my Mythos and they are holding up very nicely. The only part that is wearing out are the laces from jamming them over and over into cracks.

I would highly recommend these shoes to beginning climbers or trad climbers.

I sized these comfortably and use them as my easy trad shoes.

PROS: Comfortable, good in cracks, smear well, laces make them quite adjustable. Pretty durable (aside from the laces).

CONS: Edging is not great (they stretch out enough that it would be very hard to get a precise fit if that was your goal). They are not a high performance shoe, and don't work well on overhanging terrain.

For an all-day shoe, for the gym, or for cracks, these get my recommendation. For harder stuff, get some miuras.

THE chill all day shoe. Great Indian Creek climber.

THESE ARE A GREAT AND COMFY SHOE.

I wear these most of the day at the local crag, and they are a great and comfortable sport shoe. I don't think that i would want to be doing trad all day in them though. I didn't know that they would stretch that much ( being all leather uppers ) and i have had to tighten them up twice. They actually will mold to the shape of your foot, quite comfy. My next pair will probably be a whole size smaller to adjust for the stretch in the shoes. They edge fine and have a decent amount of stick. Not the best choice though for aggressive bouldering.

Overall i know that their is more aggresive, sticky shoes out there but for overall comfort, i love these. I will buy another pair when mine finally give out.

Excellent for multi pitch easy routes, definitely not for edges and small features of the rock. Can be used indoor since it's really comfortable.

This shoe has been around forever, that has to tell you something! This is a classic shoe! The Mythos is a stiffer shoe that performs well in both the sport and trad climbing areas. The Vibram rubber provides good friction, and the edging performance is great. Not a shoe I'd recommend for the avid boulderer, but if you are into trad climbing and like a show that is all-day comfortable and performs like a champ I'd check these babies out!

This was my first climbing shoe. Its a great shoe for slab climbing, or long/all day climbs. They are not super aggressive shoes but they were a great beginer shoe for me. They are a little costly but they will last for a long time (if u size them right). I would size them down a full size if possible half size at least. These shoes like to stretch.

This an awesome shoe. I love it.

I've owned several pairs of these for over 10 years. No shoe is perfect for all situations. Here is what I like and dislike about my Mythos.

Pros:
Fit - I have low-volume feet and these fit me well. I know people with high volume feet who also get a good fit.
Lacing System - see above. Plus I can really customize tightness where and when I need it. (I usually replace the original laces with thin nylon cord - much more durable. Just tightly tape the end of your replacement cord to the original and slowly remove the original lace from the other end - easiest way to get new lace in place!)
Friction - I climb a lot of granite, requiring smearing crystals, nubbins, etc. These excel at smearing.
Thin cracks - Low profile allows me to squeeze a toe, or more, into thin cracks.
Comfort - I climb a lot of multi-pitch climbs and these hold up and are easy on my feet the whole day long.

Cons:
Wide Cracks - I've experienced pain trying to climb wider cracks in these (3 inches or more). Not enough mid-sole support for this (and not board lasted like my old Boreal fires).
Steep terrain - they have a flat-foot fit so they're not ideal (or intended) for pockets, toe-pulling, etc.
Edging - so-so edging (not terrible, but there are many better shoes for this)
Durability - they are slip lasted, so do not last very well if not cared for, or used in wide cracks, etc. That said, I've resoled mine multiple times and they are still doing fine. Rands could be made of thicker rubber.

I only use the mythos for Sandstone crack clilmbing. Unfortunately, that special lace system falls apart in the cracks. Relacing is a pain in the a#*, if the leather loops still exist. Often the leather loops get destroyed as well. if you don't have a disposable income and want to climb cracks with the Mythos, I suggest getting some 5.10 Stealth Paint and reinforcing the leather all the way up to the lace loops.

These are my go to shoe for all day granite. I love how they fit, smear, and how easy they are to toe into small cracks.

These are my most comfortable shoes. If you wear about a 10.5 to 11 US street shoe I would get them somewhere between 41 or 42.5 (most likely closer to 42 though) because they stretch a good deal. I sized mine too big and now regret it.
I would recommand this shoe mainly for trad or if you are just looking to find a shoe that you can have a tight fit in and still wear for hours. If you are even thinking about over hangs think again, you can spend your money better elsewhere

I have owned a pair for a year or so and love them! I climb at RRG, and at local cincinnati gyms and i've never once had an issue with them. And i use the hell out of them, they definitely last!

The most comfortable shoe on the market. I always recommend this shoe to new climbers because you can wear it for years and it will still be a great shoe even when you start climbing harder than 5.12. Once you start getting on harder stuff though, the usefulness of the shoe begins to fade. Its definitely not the best for high precision steep climbing and has much to offer in terms of heel hooking, but if you are looking for a gym beater or moderate all around shoe, this is the one.

love lasportiva on a whole, but these shoes were just okay. owned multiple pairs and couldn't stop from shredding the laces. I think that sportiva could update the shoe with maybe a higher rand. and have you ever had to try and put new laces in these bad boys...super sucks. I know that they do have a cult following. but spend the extra cash and throwdown on the tc pros. you won't be disappointed. they edge sooooo much better. and climb cracks from thin to veda woo offwidth.

These were my first shoes worn when I started climbing 4 years ago. Great shoe overall although I wore them out fast dragging my toes while learning to climb indoors. With that being said it is a pretty expensive shoe if you are starting out. Buy something cheaper that you can trash learning to climb and get these when your footwork improves and you are interested in doing long multi-pitch climbs or crack climbs. The last is not very aggressive so I would not recommend them to someone looking for a bouldering shoe or for climbing anything steep and overhung, unless you are climbing vertical/slabby 5.9 or V2 or below. They have good friction for smears and the lace up system holds your foot nice and snug. They are very comfortable making them a great choice for long climbs and despite my abuse to this shoe I think it is quite a durable shoe.

Good trad shoe. Comfortable. Well-made shoe.

A good, comfortable crack and trad shoe. Not much to offer in the steeper than vertical realm.

I've had the same pair of mythose for 7 years, how's THAT for durability!? Just bought my second pair, only because of the stink.

These shoes are wonderful for cracks, most edges, smearing, and just all around "climbing". Really, one shoe that can do most things well and be comfortable all day. Its still my go to shoe for longer all day routes like epinephrine in Red Rocks. I've even hiked off in them no prob.
