If the shoes are loose enough to be comfy doing this, they probably slide around and are shitty climbing shoes. No such thing as the perfect trad shoe, or at least I havent' found it. Mythos is a fine crack shoe and decent all arounder, but the edging is just too poor to call it the best.
Right, but you can create (or suck up) a fair bit of room with the Mythos by loosening/tightening the lace around the heel and for long multi-pitch. I'm not usually climbing right at my limit where I need a sport shoe fit.
The Mythos edge pretty good when new, but it does go downhill. I'm willing to give up some edging for the ability to smear and smudge (half smear/half edge).
Each to their own.
Mostly it just a question that I haven't found a better performing shoe that fits my weird/narrow foot.
