La Sportiva Cliff 5 shoes profess to do two things, says Sarah Flint. Not only to be ideal for newbies but also to be comfortable for all day multi-pitch routes. What should this mean? - A pain-free day and confidence in feet to stick to rock.

I used to have some white Cliffs and they were awesome for edging.
