      Comments about La Sportiva Mythos Rock Shoes - Women's:

      This is my first pair of climbing shoes and I love them! They are comfortable enough that I don't need to unlace them in between climbs (although I wouldn't wear them on a hike), but feel good on the wall. I went 1.5 sizes smaller than my normal shoe size and they fit perfectly. At first I thought I had too much room in the toes but they end up forming to your feet as you walk (if that makes sense). They are a little bit on the expensive side but totally worth it in my opinion!

        Comments about La Sportiva Mythos Rock Shoes - Women's:

        I'm more of a mountain-climber than a rock climber so I use these shoes typically as part of a bigger adventure in an outdoor setting. I purchased .5 size smaller than the size chart indicates I should. (I wear an 8.5 and have a 39.5 in this shoe). This allows me to wear the shoe barefoot for indoor climbing (which I do occasionally) and with a thin sock outdoors- I can somewhat uncomfortably squish a cushioned hiking sock in there but will avoid this unless it's super cold. These are comfortable enough to not have sore feet after climbing, a nice form-fitting feel. They work well in both settings I use them in. I'm not a technical rock climber so can't speak to that use. They also, being flexible, fit nicely into my pack with my other gear. They are not cheap, but comfortable feet are critical on my adventures, so I invested. So far, I'm glad I didi.

          Comments about La Sportiva Mythos Rock Shoes - Women's:

          These are my second pair of climbing shoes, and they are perfect! I am just climbing V2s, so I'm definitely not a competitive climber, but I am serious about continuing to improve and climb more difficult routes. These shoes are very comfortable, yet snug enough so that my foot does not move around in the shoe. I usually wear a size 7.5 in regular shoes and the 37.5 in these are perfect (I tried 38, but it was too loose). I did not want a super tight fit because I wanted to still be comfortable wearing my shoes between climbs. When I get more serious about climbing, I'll probably want a half size smaller.

          This is a great all around shoe with a great fit. What you gain in comfort, you lose a little in performance because you have a more round than boxed toe. However, it's perfect for a recreational / beginner climber like me. Also, I got a lot of envious looks from other climbers :) The sales guy made me go down a half size, which was pefect. Thanks sales guy!

                I bought these for my wife since she just started climbing. The main selling point for us was that the laces wrap around the back (heel) of the shoe with a padding. She always has a tough time finding shoes that won't rub the area around her achilles tendon raw and these were perfect!
                They fit her perfectly but like any climbing shoe you have to try them on before you buy them. She climbs in a gym and outdoors on granite/slab. They work for her and she says it helps her on some of the cracks we are working on.

                Comments about La Sportiva Mythos Rock Shoes - Women's:

                I am sure that the mythos is a favorite for many. I love La Sportiva and really feel that they make the best shoes. However, these shoes were not what I was looking for. I am a poor college student so I spend lots of time training indoors. I needed a more aggressive bouldering shoe...I was using Coyotes before I got these. I went into my local REI and was pretty disappointed that they only had 4 shoes to select from. I picked these because I was looking for some sportivas and I wasn't interested in the other shoes.
                My complaint with the shoe was how they fit on me. They felt very large on my foot, but I was not able to downsize any further because the back of the shoe was cutting badly into my achilles heel. It was too painful to even take a step. I do have very long narrow feet so that could have been the issue. I gave these a chance that night by taking them into my gym, but I felt so clumsy with these on. The toe is so huge and round that it is difficult to feel where you are placing your toe, which is definitely not what I was looking for in a shoe.
                I am sure these would be much better suited to some sort of trad climbing, but if you are looking for a bouldering shoe then these are probably not the best choice. Luckily REI has an awesome return policy so I returned them for some Katanas, which I love!

                  ... and I still ROCK these at the gym. I love these shoes, I love the way the laces go around the heel to make them that much more snug on my feet. I bought them a little looser than I would for gym climbing just so I could use them on long climbs like at smith (monkeyface!) I would say though for gym climbing i might have gone down .5 size because they do stretch out and i like to have super tight shoes for gym climbing since i usually climb for less than 3 hours at a gym.
