FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Nike Air Rift generally fits true to standard UK size 6.5, though the adjustable straps allow for minor fitting variations.
Can I wear these for running?
While inspired by barefoot running concepts, these are designed as lifestyle sandals and are not recommended for long-distance or high-intensity running.
How do I wash the mesh upper?
Hand wash with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not put them in a washing machine as this can damage the Air unit and adhesive.
Do I need special socks?
Yes, standard socks will not fit correctly due to the split-toe design; you will need Tabi socks or go barefoot.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the breathable mesh upper is designed for ventilation and will allow water to pass through.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort between the big toe and second toe
Ensure you are using appropriate Tabi-style socks or wearing them barefoot; if new, limit wear time to break in the divider.
Strap not holding firmly
Clear any debris or lint from the hook-and-loop (velcro) material to ensure a strong grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, adjust the straps while standing to account for natural foot spread. If you prefer to wear socks, ensure you use split-toe compatible socks (often called Tabi socks) to avoid discomfort between the toes. To keep the grey mesh upper clean, wipe gently with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, avoiding submersion in deep water to preserve the glue and foam integrity. Air dry away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation or colour fading.
