For the last ten years the Sportiva Mythos has been their most popular shoe with women climbers. As a result, La Sportiva wanted to refine this model with a few good changes and make it even better for women. To achieve the perfect fit for most females, the heel of the women’s Mythos is narrower and the sides of the shoe near the ankle have been lowered to accommodate lower ankle bones. This shoe has all the features of the original model but crafted specially for a woman’s fit.
