FAQs
Can I wear socks with the Nike Air Rift?
Traditional socks do not fit the split-toe design. You will need to wear them barefoot or with specialized toe-socks.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Air Rift is comfortable, it is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual use rather than intense athletic performance or long-distance running.
How do I determine my size?
The Air Rift generally fits true to size, but the stretchy nature of the neoprene upper allows for some flexibility. Refer to the UK sizing guide for your specific measurements.
Are the materials waterproof?
The shoe features breathable neoprene and leather, which are not waterproof and may absorb water in heavy rain.
What is the primary benefit of the split-toe?
The split-toe design allows for greater freedom of movement and a more natural feel during the walking gait cycle.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty finding the right fit for the split-toe
Adjust the midfoot strap to pull the shoe closer to the arch, which helps stabilize the toe area.
Outer sole loses traction
Check for debris or dirt trapped in the tread pattern and clean with a damp brush.
Strap loses adhesion
Remove lint or dust from the hook-and-loop fibers using a pair of tweezers or a stiff brush to restore its grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Air Rifts, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Adjust the hook-and-loop strap until the shoe feels secure but not restrictive against your midfoot.
- Cleaning: Use a mild soap and a soft-bristled brush to gently clean the neoprene and leather sections. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from warping or becoming brittle.
- Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated space to maintain the integrity of the neoprene upper.
