La Sportiva Mythos is one of the oldest selling climbing shoes and is still going strong today owing to all-round performance and comfort on multipitch, big wall, and crack climbing. The Mythos addressed unexplored aspects of climbing- shoe-design. Included in the design was lacing system that wrapped the heel of the shoe. This increased the heel tension and allowed for more technical heel-hooks.
