FAQs
How do I measure my child's foot for the correct size?
Measure the length of your child's foot from the heel to the tip of the longest toe. Compare this measurement to the provided size chart. If the measurement falls between two sizes, select the larger size. A slight deviation of 0.5 cm is normal for comfortable wear.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Nike Air Rift PS is designed for comfort and natural foot movement during casual wear and light activities. While they allow for good foot articulation, they are not specialized running shoes for high-impact or long-distance running.
Can these be worn with socks?
Yes, they can be worn with or without socks. Some children may prefer wearing thin socks, especially during the adjustment period to the split-toe design. Toe socks are also an option.
What is the main benefit of the split-toe design?
The split-toe design allows the toes to move more independently, promoting a more natural foot gait and providing a unique sensory experience. It offers a feel closer to being barefoot while still providing protection.
How durable are the leather materials?
The leather construction is designed for durability and longevity, suitable for the wear and tear of children's activities. Regular care will help maintain their condition.
What does 'PS' stand for in the product name?
'PS' typically stands for 'Pre-School' in Nike's sizing and product lines, indicating that this model is designed for younger children.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the hook-and-loop straps. For a tighter fit, secure the straps more firmly. For a looser fit, adjust them to a less tight setting. Ensure the heel strap is also adjusted correctly for optimal support.
Child finds the split-toe design uncomfortable initially
Encourage short wear times initially, gradually increasing as the child gets used to the sensation. Wearing thin socks or toe socks might help some children adapt more quickly.
Dirt or scuff marks on the white leather
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Nike Air Rift PS requires no assembly. Simply adjust the hook-and-loop straps to fit your child's foot snugly. Ensure the heel is secure and the straps are comfortably fastened across the foot.
Compatibility: These are designed for children's feet and are unisex. Sizing information is provided to help select the correct fit. Refer to the detailed size chart for foot length measurements in CM to ensure the best match. Remember that CM sizing on the box may differ from foot length.
Care: To clean, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris from the leather and other materials. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. For the best results, spot clean as needed.
