Comments about La Sportiva Mythos Rock Shoes - Women's:
This is my 3rd pair of climbing shoes and is definitely the last model/shoe that I'll need to try out. If the Evolv Rockstars or the Evolv Elektras fit you well & are comfortable, this will fit even better. I have long narrow feet, a longer 2nd toe, and more straight flat heel. I find that most other models outside of these 3 are painful to wear because they dig into my heel a bit too much.
vs Evolv Rockstars - My 1st pair - I wanted laced shoes so they would fit better but these turned out over time to not very breathable and got stinky very easily because of the synthetic. After 6 months, I had already had to get them resoled. I don't believe they sell this model anymore.
vs Evolv Elektras - My 2nd pair - I wanted to have a velcro pair for quick in & outs so I got these. These fit comfortably as well, but after a year, they started to get more and more loose and I had to tighten the velcro more and more. After a long/hot climb, my feet would start slipping inside because of sweat. They were not very breathable and were more prone to getting stinky.
La Sportiva Mythos - These have been my shoe for the last couple of years, I always shied away from this pair because I never wanted to spend more than $100, but the fit & the quality are definitely worth it. These overtime fit your feet to the T everywhere, even your arches and are super comfortable. Even after a year of indoor climbing they are no where near needing a resole. Because they are leather, they also don't stink, even if you don't spray them. Just leave them out in some open air & you're good to go. Found my perfect pair. From now on I'm just going to resole these forever and/or get a 2nd pair. Only downside is the color gets dirty quickly.

Comments about La Sportiva Mythos Rock Shoes - Women's:
This is my first pair of shoes. I've had them roughly six months. I love them! I use them for everything: indoor, outdoor, top roping, bouldering.
The first time I put them on they felt wonderful. They are 1.5 sizes smaller than my street shoe. I was concerned about the discomfort of breaking them in. (I have rather sensitive feet and too small a shoe can hurt for days.) I wish I had gone that extra .5 size down. The shoes stretched/broke in within a few weeks. I lost the solid feel in the toe on nibs. I can still climb anything my skill level allows, but I can see the benefit of getting that smaller size. As they are now, I can keep my shoe on for the duration of my visit to the gym.
They don't do great for being upside down, but that could just be my skill level. They don't "hook" at the toe. I've been told they are more of a slab shoe.
As for wearing, I couldn't be happier. I'm not terribly hard on shoes. I don't dyno (yet) and I don't smear hard. I have noticed very little wear and the leather is holding up incredibly well.
Another benefit is that I don't have shoe funk. My feet sweat a lot, so that is a huge bonus!
My skill level and frequency of climbing is C1+ and working up to C2-, top roping is at a 5.9 working up to a 5.10. I am in the gym 1-4 times a week. I go outdoors occasionally.
Over six months, this (to me) is a lot of climbing. I've been told most shoes have about 6 months of life. These definitely have a lot of life left in them. I've known other climbers that have blown holes in their leather, worn holes in their toes, etc. in 6 weeks.
I'm very happy with La Sportiva and will continue to buy them. They are worth every penny!

I wore this shoe climbing and bouldering, for hours at a time, and my feet felt fine afterwards. Though not too agressive, it's a very comfortable design. I was surprised at how tacky the sole was too.

Comments about La Sportiva Mythos Rock Shoes - Women's:
I got these shoes as my first pair of new climbing shoes. It was quite uncomfortable for the first month or so, now they fit perfectly since they have molded to my feet. The only thing that I find that really bothers me is that between climbs they are not very easy to take off and slip back on. Other than that they are a great shoe whether indoors or outdoors, no matter the slope or terrain.

Comments about La Sportiva Mythos Rock Shoes - Women's:
This is by far the best shoe I have found! I have a weird shape to the back of my foot and due to the fact that you are able to tighten and loosen the heal it fits perfect! I love them and would only buy another pair!

Comments about La Sportiva Mythos Rock Shoes - Women's:
I love this shoe. My other shoes are so uncomfortable but with these I get performance as well as comfort. I had to go a 1/2 size smaller because the leather stretched too much but now they're perfect. With the bigger size they made almost a [*] noise when I would walk on them(air in btwn arc and shoe) but they're not for walking anyway. They edge well. and are wonderful at slab. I like a more aggressive shoe for overhang and bouldering. they're good in cracks except the metal lace thing at the front digs in to my foot while jamming. ouch! still a fantastic shoe.

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!

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

Comments about La Sportiva Mythos Rock Shoes - Women's:
As a new climber these shoes were a great choice to start out with. I ended up going about a size smaller than I actually wear because I read that they stretch quite a bit. I found that mine did stretch but are still fairly snug (in a good way) and have sort of molded to my feet, which is great during climbs. Great quality shoe and super comfortable with the suede... not to mention durable. Very pleased!
