When we joined our rock gym five months ago, I scoured reviews of climbing shoes on several websites. The consensus was that the Mythos are comfortable enough for all-day crag climbing, and still solid performers. The next time at the gym, I paid attention to what people were wearing, and we saw the Mythos everywhere. My wife and I both bought Mythos and we've haven't regretted it for a minute.Because they are natural leather, these don't stink up the way that synthetic does. (Our kids have synthetic shoes, and they quickly smelled like death). Still, climbing shoes are notorious for eventual stinkitude. We treat ours with Gear Aid Rank Away Odor Eliminator.Leather stretches out - a lot - which could either make these shoes more comfortable, or too loose over time. Almost every review we read of the Mythos urged us to order our Mythos sized too small. I averaged the down-size recommendations on all the reviews I could find, and the average recommendation was -1.5 US sizes from our true size, which is what we ended up doing (n = about 40 reviews, range -0.5 to -2.5 US sizes; the -2.5 dude clearly has foot-binding fantasies). The first two weeks were painful, but having now had ours for five months they've stretched out to a comfortable size and I think -1.5 US sizes is about right, although perhaps just -1 US size would have been sufficient. Note: the Mythos come in European sizes.We eventually upgraded the old-fashioned laces on our Mythos with Nathan Shoe Lock Laces because the laces tended to come undone mid-climb. Who wants to retie their shoelaces halfway up a wall? We worried that the elasticity of the lock laces wouldn't work, but they turned out to add to the comfort of our Mythos.

I've had my mythos for several years now, and although I'm not a super active climber, I do go out regularly. The mythos have held up really well! the leather is starting to peal back just slightly, but that's to be expected at their age. They're super comfortable and I've used them for everything from bouldering to sport and crack climbs. Overall I think they're a great shoe. The only downside is that you have to lace them, but that still isn't all bad, since you can get them to form better to your foot that way

I just started climbing and was looking for a comfortable all around shoes. I tried several other shoes; none works well till this one.I have fairly flat feet, my 2nd toe is just a bit longer than my big toe. The lace style the shoe shape fits my feet perfectly. I normally ware size 7 street shoes, but I ware 37 on these - without socks and after 2nd ware they stretch nicely according to my feet.
