Nice sensitive shoe. Fit a little narrow. Size them snug to get the best feel. Not a super durable shoe. After one resole and two seasons they are about ready to be gym shoes. Nice purple hue. Similar Products Used: None |

These shoes are great, buy them small however, they will stretch out a great deal. Once, this is done, they are the most comfortable and sensitive shoes I have purchased. Similar Products Used: None |

I tried many climbing shoes before I settled with the Mythos. I think it by far was the best fit for my foot. The wrap-around lace design lets it really hug to the contours of your foot. This gives you a great fit, very smooth. Great climbing shoe Similar Products Used: None |

I have four pairs of Mythos, and love them. They fit my feet wonderfully, and provide excellent sensitivity. I've done everything from thin face climbing through granite smearing and thin-to-wide cracks in these shoes, all without a problem. They're not perfect, though; the toe rand is thin, and will blow out pretty quickly if you climb in the gym much. On walk-offs, the sensitivity of these shoes makes them painful; you can feel every corner on each pebble on which you step. Also, because the shoes are thin and slip-lasted, they don't edge well unless you tighten the hell out of them, and that's an annoying task because of the number and closeness together of the laces. Overall, though, they're excellent shoes. |

Mythos are a great shoe. Good for smearing, comfortable for multi-pitched climbs. Not as technical as some of the other shoes out there, though. Perfect for beginning climbers, especially that stay mostly inside the gym, as they are very versatile. They hold a resole well. They stretch a lot, get a smaller size to start.

THESE SHOES ARE THE BOMB!! I tried every shoe in surrounding stores and nothing else fit my foot like the mythos. I even ordered two diff. sizes of the scarpa Infernos and to no avail. The mythos fit like a soft , tight protective glove around my feet. I am a beginner climber and have worn them outdoor and indoor. They smear like champs while providing enough freedom to feel the rock. I really trust them so they don't hold me back at all. Everytime I climb someone is bound to mention how much they like these shoes. If you can't find something to fit your foot try them! Im even trying to talk my boyfriend into getting a pair, Are you reading this Honey? |

I tried many other climbing shoes before I settled with the Mythos. I think it by far was the best fit for my foot. The wrap-around lace design lets it really hug to the contours of your foot. This gives you a great fit, like a second skin. The Mythos is what I think a climbing shoe should be. Similar Products Used: None |
