FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Air Rift fits similarly to other Nike models, but the split-toe construction can feel different; the adjustable straps help compensate if you prefer a tighter or looser fit.
Can I run in these shoes?
While inspired by barefoot running, these are primarily designed for casual lifestyle use rather than high-mileage athletic training.
How do I clean the decorative metal rivets?
Wipe them gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to keep them shiny and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the surrounding leather.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
Due to the leather material and the open design, they are not recommended for heavy rain or extremely wet conditions.
Is the leather upper breathable?
The leather is durable and supportive, though the split-toe design offers inherent ventilation that makes them comfortable for warm weather wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel loose or unstable while walking
Adjust the hook-and-loop straps for a tighter, more secure fit across the arch and heel.
Difficulty wearing standard socks
Switch to split-toe or tabi-style socks specifically designed for this footwear configuration.
Leather looks dull or loses its shine
Use a light, leather-safe conditioning cream and buff gently with a soft cloth to restore the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Rifts provide the best experience, start by adjusting the hook-and-loop straps to match your preferred tension across the midfoot and heel. Because of the split-toe design, ensure you are wearing either toe-socks or going sockless to maximize the intended comfort of the construction.
For care, gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and debris. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather quality. The decorative leather flowers and rivets should be cleaned carefully with a dry brush to avoid snagging or loosening the metal components. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking.
