Tips

For the best fit, try on approach shoes with the socks you plan to wear on the trail. The Mythos lacing system allows micro-adjustments from toe to ankle—tighten the lower section for technical scrambles or loosen it for casual hikes. After use, clean the suede with a soft brush and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the leather's integrity. Resole when the outsole shows significant wear to extend the life of your investment.
