FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to spot clean them with a damp cloth to protect the materials and cushioning technology.
Do I need special socks for the split-toe design?
While they are comfortable barefoot, if you prefer socks, you would need split-toe or tabi-style socks for a proper fit.
Can these be worn for running?
They are designed primarily as casual sandals and lifestyle footwear, offering comfort for walking rather than high-impact athletic running.
Is the material waterproof?
The mesh upper is breathable and designed for summer use, but it is not waterproof and may absorb water if submerged.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
The Air Rift should fit snugly; follow the UK sizing guide and utilize the adjustable strap to accommodate your specific foot volume.
Troubleshooting
Strap feels loose after heavy use
Check the hook-and-loop closure for debris or lint buildup that might prevent a firm hold; clean as necessary.
Feeling discomfort between the toes
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and allow for a 'break-in' period as the material adjusts to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the adjustable strap is tightened securely without restricting circulation. Because of the split-toe design, wearers should ensure their socks—if used—are split-toe compatible, though these are designed primarily for barefoot comfort. To care for your Nike Air Rifts, spot clean the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical solvents, as these can compromise the adhesives and the integrity of the foam cushioning. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources to maintain the elasticity of the straps.
