5-mm. Vibram® XSV sole withstands the rigors of beginning slips and scratches.

La Sportiva's Cliff looks like an expensive high-performance climbing shoe but the price durability and performance is a custom fit for beginners and developing climbers. The versatility is ideal for indoor and outdoor climbing but the fit is the key benefit: The Cliff has a roomy toe area and a narrow heel for enhanced comfort. The 1.1-mm. Laspoflex midsole provides support without compromising sensitivity. Like other La Sportiva shoes the shoe size may run narrower than other climbing brands. When choosing sizes keep in mind that the unlined leather upper will stretch slightly over time.
