La Sportiva Mythos Eco is a men's lace-up shoe with a flat last and low asymmetry, listed as a fit for crack climbing and long multi-pitch routes.

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + Flat last, low asymmetry and low-profile toes are described as a neutral shape for crack climbing
  • + Soft, unlined leather upper is listed as molding to the foot for comfort on long routes
  • + Listing states 95 percent recycled components and a metal-free tanned leather upper

Trade-offs

  • - Listing says it fits big and advises ordering one full size smaller, so sizing needs care
  • - Neutral shape gives less edging power than a stiffer, more downturned shoe
