FAQs
Can I wear regular socks with the Air Rift 2?
Regular socks will not fit properly due to the split-toe design. You will need to wear tabi socks or go barefoot.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Air Rift 2 provides a barefoot feel and cushioning, it is primarily intended for lifestyle and casual daily wear rather than high-performance running.
How should I clean the neoprene upper?
Use a damp, soft cloth with mild detergent to gently wipe the surface. Do not submerge the shoes in water.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
The Air Rift 2 focuses on a natural, barefoot feel. While the Air sole provides comfort, it does not feature significant structural arch support.
Does the slip-on design get loose over time?
The neoprene material is designed for elasticity, but keeping the shoes clean and avoiding excessive stretching will help maintain the original fit.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting the shoe on initially
Ensure the loopless opening is fully stretched and work your toes into the tabi partition before pulling the heel cup up.
Discomfort between the big toe and second toe
This is common with new tabi-style shoes. Wear them for short intervals initially to allow your foot to acclimate to the split-toe divider.
Material showing light dust or surface dirt
Use a soft-bristle brush to gently remove dry dirt from the mesh underlays and wipe the neoprene sections with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Air Rift 2 features a tabi split-toe design, it is recommended to wear specialized tabi socks or no socks at all to ensure proper fit and comfort. To maintain the integrity of the neoprene and mesh materials, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean with a soft cloth, lukewarm water, and mild soap. Air dry the shoes in a shaded area, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can compromise the glue and rubber materials. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup in the mesh panels.
