Specially Designed La Sportiva Women's Mythos Eco Rock Climbing Shoes for Women

The La Sportiva Women's All-Day Climbing Shoes, featuring the Aragon Tarantulace Mythos Eco Zenit, are an exceptional choice for crack climbers with their low-profile toes, snug fit, and versatile neutral round shape. Designed for all-around rock and gym use, these shoes offer both comfort and performance, catering to beginner-intermediate climbers.

The Aragon Tarantulace boasts a pointed toe shape, moderate downturn, and medium asymmetry (WPN55) for a precise feel on the wall. Alternatively, the rounded design with a flat profile and low asymmetry (WRL45) provides a more relaxed fit, while the rounded shape with moderate-low downturn and low asymmetry (WRN25) offers a balance between control and comfort.

When it comes to heel tension, a firm handshake is recommended, ensuring a secure grip. The high-volume heel cup adds additional support. The shoe's volume and width range from medium to accommodating, with semi-wide options available. The surface sensitivity is rated as moderate, making them suitable for a variety of climbing conditions.

The stiffness level is rated 3 out of 5, providing adequate rigidity without being overly stiff. The lining is typically unlined, allowing for better breathability. The sole features a mix of 1.8mm FriXion RS (heel) and 5mm FriXion RS (toe) or 5mm Vibram XS Grip 1/2 sole, while the closure options include lace-up or 2 strap hook and loop systems.

For those seeking a more versatile option, the Finale Tarantula Miura is another choice. With leather construction and Vibram rubber, it caters to beginners, delivering all-around comfort. It excels in thin face and trad climbing, offering a pointed toe shape, moderate to large downturn, and high asymmetry (WPD75) for improved grip on varied terrain.

The heel tension can be set to a firm or medium-firm grip, depending on the climbing style. The volume/width is medium to high, with accommodating width due to laces and leather sidewalls. The surface sensitivity is rated as 2, indicating good sensitivity, and the stiffness level is 4, providing solid support.

Both shoes come with different sole options, such as 5mm Vibram XS Edge or 5mm FriXion RS/Classic, and closures like lace-up or 2 strap hook and loop systems, ensuring a customized fit and performance for each climber.
