A re-edition of the iconic women's La Sportiva Mythos climbing shoe made with eco-friendly materials to minimize environmental impact. 25 years later, this shoe still delivers amazing versatility and performance.
25-Year Icon Re-Edition
Re-edition of the iconic women's La Sportiva Mythos climbing shoe — maintaining the versatile, all-around performance that made it a gym and crag staple for over two decades.
Eco-Friendly Materials
Constructed with eco-friendly materials to minimize environmental impact — lower-impact manufacturing without sacrificing climbing performance.
Versatile All-Around Climbing
Delivers amazing versatility and performance across gym bouldering, sport climbing, and moderate trad routes — a neutral last that handles varied footwork without specialization.
Perwanger® Eco-Tanned Leather
Italian-made leather that uses a sustainable tanning process while creating durable and waterproof products — the proven Perwanger quality with reduced environmental footprint.
Resolable Construction
Like all Mythos editions, fully resolable to extend the life of the footwear — take to a La Sportiva-approved cobbler when the rubber wears through.
Neutral, Flat Last
Flat, neutral last shape with minimal asymmetry — comfortable for all-day wear, beginner-friendly, and forgiving on multi-pitch routes where feet swell.
Unlined Leather Upper
Unlined leather stretches to mold to the foot over time — the longer you wear them, the better the fit becomes.
Lace Closure
Traditional lace closure allows precise tension adjustment across the entire foot — dial in the fit for edging, smearing, or all-day comfort.
Women's-Specific Pattern
Built on a women's-specific last — not a men's pattern sized down. Appropriate volume and proportions for female foot morphology.
Sizing Note — Size Down
Generally sized down 0–4 full EU sizes from a standard EU street shoe size — consult the La Sportiva size chart before ordering. Climbers typically wear these very tight.

Breaking In
The unlined Perwanger® leather upper is designed to stretch and mold to the foot over time. Wear them around the house or on easy approaches before first gym sessions to accelerate the break-in.
Cleaning the Leather Upper
Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and chalk. Avoid soaking the shoes in water — leather can deform and lose structural integrity if waterlogged repeatedly.
Drying
Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources. Stuff with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape — replace the paper after a few hours for faster drying.
Resoling
When the rand rubber wears through, take the shoes to a La Sportiva-approved cobbler for resoling. This extends shoe life by years and is the most environmentally friendly way to maintain climbing footwear.
Storage Between Sessions
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. A breathable shoe bag or mesh storage cube prevents dust accumulation without trapping moisture.
Eco Material Note
The eco-friendly leather tanning process and environmentally responsible materials can be sensitive to harsh chemicals. Avoid leather conditioners with synthetic solvents — use only mild, water-based products formulated for climbing shoes.
