Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort between the big toe and second toe
Ensure the shoe size is correct and consider using toe socks to reduce friction.
Difficulty putting on the shoes
Check that the toe divider is clear of debris and guide your toes into their respective sections before pulling the heel collar up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Air Rift 2 GS, ensure you select the correct size to account for the unique toe separation. Regarding socks, traditional socks will not work; you will need either toe socks or to wear the shoes without socks to maintain the intended comfort level. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals, as this can degrade the materials and affect the structural integrity of the unique split-toe design.
