FAQs
Are these shoes meant for running?
The Air Rift 2 is designed for casual wear and light training. It is not recommended for long-distance road running.
Can I wear normal socks with these?
Standard socks will not fit well with the tabi toe design. You should use split-toe socks or wear them without socks.
How do I determine my size?
The Air Rift 2 fits true to size, but the unique shape may feel different than standard trainers. If you are between sizes, consider a slight upsize for more toe room.
Are the materials waterproof?
No, the neoprene and mesh uppers are designed for breathability and are not water-resistant or waterproof.
What is the benefit of the split-toe design?
The split-toe design promotes a more natural foot alignment and allows for better articulation of the toes, mimicking a barefoot feel.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting the shoe on
Ensure the heel tab is pulled fully back before sliding the foot into the neoprene collar.
Discomfort between the toes
Check that the tabi-toe partition is seated correctly and consider wearing dedicated tabi-style socks to prevent friction.
Debris getting into the mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris from the mesh underlays after outdoor use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Rift 2 trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure the tabi toe fits comfortably between your first and second toes; if it causes discomfort, check your sock selection.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the neoprene and mesh surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water to maintain the structural integrity of the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the neoprene from losing its elasticity.
- Compatibility: Note that these trainers are best paired with split-toe socks if you choose to wear socks for extra warmth or comfort.
