The mythos are a good all around performer for jams, smears, and decent at edging. At least for a soft, non down-turned shoe. It is a bit tough to find an all around shoe that edges well unless you get a shoe that is stiff (and give up on being able to smear). They have no support, so your foot muscles need some endurance to wear them all day. They stretch a lot, so it is a little tricky to figure out how to size them the first time around. I would recommend trying them on in the store. Find the size where your toes are flat but the shoe is comfortably snug (how you want the shoe to feel after it stretches out). For an all day shoe go down one full size (from 40 to 39, or whatever). If you only plan on wearing them for short multi-pitch and want a little higher performance, you might want to go down 1 and half sizes. As the shoe loosens up, you need to keep tightening the laces around the back of the heel (I wasn't very tuned into this when I first started wearing mythos).
