FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to spot clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap to preserve the structural integrity.
Do I need special socks for these?
While you can wear them barefoot, the design works best with toe socks or thinner materials to accommodate the split-toe feature.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the adjustable straps allow for a significant amount of customization, making them accommodating for various foot widths.
What age group are these for?
These trainers are primarily designed for toddlers and kids, with various sizes available to accommodate growing feet.
Can these be used for sports?
They are excellent for light athletic activity, play, and casual daily use, though they are not intended for high-intensity competitive sports.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the standard Nike children's sizing chart; we recommend leaving a small amount of space at the front for growth.
Troubleshooting
Straps keep coming loose
Ensure the velcro area is free from lint or debris, which can weaken the grip; clean the hook-and-loop fasteners if necessary.
Toe area feels uncomfortable
Ensure the child is wearing thin, split-toe compatible socks or no socks at all, as thick fabric can bunch up between the toes.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Readjust the main strap to ensure a tighter fit across the bridge of the foot, which should lock the heel in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Rift 2 Trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple maintenance tips. When first fitting the shoes, ensure the midfoot strap is tightened to a comfortable level that prevents sliding. For cleaning, use a soft-bristle brush to remove dry dirt from the outsole and a damp cloth to wipe down the upper fabric; avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the integrity of the materials. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the color vibrancy.
