FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to hand clean them with a damp cloth to prevent damage to the cushioning and adhesive.
Do I need special socks?
You can wear them barefoot, or if you prefer socks, you will need tabi-style (split-toe) socks to accommodate the design.
Are the Air Rifts true to size?
They generally fit true to size, but the adjustable straps allow for minor fit fine-tuning.
Can I use these for running?
While they feature Air cushioning, they are designed as casual sandals/trainers and are not intended for distance running.
What is the primary benefit of the split-toe design?
The split-toe design mimics the foot's natural anatomy, allowing for better grip and a more fluid, natural movement.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of discomfort between the toes
The split-toe design requires a 'break-in' period. Try wearing the shoes for short intervals at home until the fabric softens to your foot shape.
Strap losing its hold
Check the hook-and-loop closure for debris or lint. Clean the surface of the strap with a brush to ensure a strong connection.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best experience, ensure the strap is tightened to a level that feels secure but does not restrict circulation. Because of the split-toe design, these are best worn barefoot or with specific split-toe socks. To care for your Nike Air Rifts, spot clean the mesh using a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the foam and the Air unit. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the materials.
