FAQs
Do I need special socks for Nike Air Rifts?
Yes, because of the split-toe design, standard socks will not fit. You should use tabi socks or split-toe socks.
Are these shoes good for long-distance running?
The Air Rift is designed as a lifestyle trainer inspired by barefoot running; it is not recommended for high-mileage performance running.
How do I clean the upper material?
Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently wipe away dirt.
Are the straps adjustable?
Yes, the straps are designed to be adjusted to provide a custom, snug fit for different foot shapes.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and adhesive of the shoes. Spot cleaning is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting the big toe in the correct slot
Loosen the closure straps fully before sliding your foot in to ensure the split-toe divider is aligned correctly.
Feeling friction between toes
Ensure you are using tabi-style socks designed for split-toe footwear to reduce skin-on-skin rubbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Air Rifts, always ensure the straps are fastened securely to prevent shifting while walking. If you prefer wearing socks, you must use specialized split-toe or tabi socks. For maintenance, spot clean the upper using a mild detergent and a soft cloth, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. Avoid submerging the entire shoe in water to prevent damage to the adhesive and structure of the sole.
