After 30 years of sending, the Mythos might be one of the most successful climbing shoe ever made. A staple for crack and slab climbing, the anniversary version of the Mythos has been updated with a new rubber compound and old-school purple colour. Unlined suede upper moulds to the shape of your foot and a wrap-around lacing system provides a fine-tuned fit for your forefoot and heel. This version also features laces and webbing made from recycled fishing nets and leather that isn't processed with heavy metals.
- Uppers are biodegradable leather made using a metal-free tanning process
- Laces and webbing are made from recycled fishing nets
- Constructed using water-based adhesives
- 1.1mm Laspoflex midsoles are moderately stiff for good edging, yet supple enough to allow smearing
- Grippy 4mm FriXion XF 2.0 rubber is super sticky
- La Sportiva suggests downsizing 1-1.5 sizes (performance fit) or 0.5-1 sizes (comfort fit) from your street shoe size
