FAQs
Can I wear standard socks with these?
Standard socks are not ideal due to the split-toe construction; specialized toe-socks are recommended if you prefer to wear socks.
Are these suitable for heavy running?
The Air Rift Breathe is designed primarily for casual use, walking, and light activity rather than long-distance or heavy-impact running.
How do I ensure the correct size?
The Air Rift generally fits true to size, but the straps allow for minor adjustments to the width and midfoot volume.
Are they waterproof?
No, the breathable mesh upper is designed for airflow and is not water-resistant.
What is the primary benefit of the split-toe?
The split-toe design is intended to mimic a more natural gait and increase forefoot flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty adjusting to the split-toe feel
Wear the shoes for short periods around the house initially to allow your toes and feet to acclimate to the unique geometry.
Strap closures collecting debris
Regularly clean the hook-and-loop fasteners with a stiff-bristled brush to ensure they maintain a strong grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the perfect fit, start by loosening both the midfoot and heel straps. Slide your foot into the shoe, ensuring your big toe fits into the split-toe compartment correctly. Tighten the straps to your comfort level, ensuring they are snug but not restricting circulation. Because of the open-mesh construction, these shoes are best kept clean by wiping the upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing, as the agitation can compromise the adhesive and strap longevity. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
