Vibram XSV rubber with high, sticky full coverage rands for crack climbing performance. Designed for a toes-flat fit, the Mythos stays comfortable yet climbs with power and precision. UPPER: Leather. CONSTRUCTION: Slip Lasted. LAST: RN25. LINING: Unlined (Dri-Lexâ tongue only). SOLE: 4mm Vibram XSV. MIDSOLE: 1.1mm full length Laspoflex. WEIGHT: 16 oz."
From Backcountry.com:
"Jam splitters at the Creek, climb big walls in Yosemite, or clip bolts at your local crag-the La Sportiva Mythos is down for climbing anytime, anywhere. As one of Sportiva's best-selling shoes, the Mythos features an unlined leather upper and innovative lacing system that help the shoe conform to any foot shape foot for the perfect fit. The perforated rubber rand allows for comfortable stretch on long multi-pitch routes, and the low-profile toe slides easily into cracks. And for glassy footholds and other issues of friction, Sportiva outfitted the Mythos with super-sticky Vibram XS rubber."
From Oregon Mountain Community:
"For amazing fit and comfort in a high performance rock climbing shoe. The La Sportiva Mythos is a true all around shoe that can climb face routes as well as desert splitters and still perform in the gym. Sale price limited to stock on hand. La Sportiva Mythos Features: Uniquely adaptable unlined leather upper stretches and molds to fit any foot type Vibram® XSV rubber with high, sticky full coverage rands for crack climbing performance Designed for a toes-flat fit, the Mythos stays comfortable yet climbs with power and precision What La Sportiva says about rock shoe fit: While it isn’t a black or white issue, a general rule dictates that soft shoes require a tighter fit, two to three sizes smaller than your street shoe size. We recommend you fit your trad shoes one to two sizes under your street shoe size. A thick midsole creates a platform on which you stand, while a slip-lasted slipper-type shoe relies on your crammed toes to create an edging platform. Confused about the sizing?
