I have been wearing the Rift style for a little under 10 years. I love this style. It is fashion forward, it is so comfortable, and is a great workout shoe. I hope that comes in different colors this season. I will purchase them all.

This is my ninth pair of Air Riffs! I usually wear an 8-1/2 but the size 9 fits. I wear them with and without "flip-flop" socks. They're always incredibly comfortable. For traveling, the velcro strap makes them easy to get off and back on in airports. When packing space is limited, they can they work well for walking and workouts, with shorts or jeans. Every time I wear them, lots of people ask what they are and where they can get them.

Nike Air Rift are the best all around shoe made. They are light and great for walking, running, or any activity. We do a lot of walking to dinner when we are on vacation and this pair does not look like a tennis shoe and therefore is a dressy tennis shoe to go to a nice casual dinner in. Love Nike Air Rift, but they are hard to find and they should make many more colors.

Wow. What a great shoe. I've had an issues with Nike's in the past because I have high arches and a very high instep. I've been breaking these in for a trip to Disney World. I wanted a cute shoe, that was supportive and super-comfy. Oddly enough I googled "best shoe for Disney World" and this one came up. I had to be on a waiting list for it. At any rate, I've been wearing them to work to break them in. They've been pretty good, although I thought the left one was pinching a bit. Turns out I was wearing the darn thing with the cardboard insert still in it! Without the cardboard, this shoe is like wearing a slipper. Light, airy, and cushy. My feet are happy! My feet are a weird size, 9.5 and 9.75, so the 10 fits perfectly! I have to wear the top strap at the absolute loosest, but that's no heartache. I have no idea what sport these shoes are supposed to be good for, but I like wearing them barefooted to the grocery store.

I absolutely love the Rift shoe although some of them run large. I don't run in these but I do go to the gym in them and wear them as casual shoes, I have at least 8 or 9 pair of them. I have been a "rifter" since at least 2002. My first pair were a blue pair. This particular pair of rifts are not as red as I would have liked but since I collect Rifts and Shox I will be keeping them. I wear them all day with and without socks.

I purchased these Nike's to replace a pair I've been wearing for several years.They are so comfortable and easy to wear. They are my summer commuting shoes, my going to yoga shoes and basically any time I want a comfortable pair of shoes. People always comment on the split toes, but when you're wearing them you don't notice it at all. Great shoes, give 'em a try!

I have two pairs of these shoes. They are the most comfortable sandles I have ever had. Walked around Disney World in them and felt great! Love them. I wear a 7 1/2 but bought a 7 in these and they fit great.

I love these shoes! I needed some easy, non-tie shoes to wear to and from yoga and these are perfect. I wear them all the time and get complimented on them everywhere I go!

Beautiful rifts! As a long-time Rift wearer. I'm frustrated that Nike cuts them smaller now. But if you go up a size, these shoes fit comfortably. And this particular design is fabulous, silver swirls on black! So festive and yet funky!

These shoes were comfortable from the first wearing. I love them and they look interesting too. The big toe separation is comfy too, as I wasn't sure about that. I have happy toes.

I absolutely love this shoe. It has been one of the best "sneaker" type I've encountered. I can actually walk all day in these and not feel fatigued.

These shoes are designed for the Ethiopian runner in mind. They are used to running bare foot and the split toe helps them feel like they have the control of that big toe.These are extremely comfortable! Nike just needs to have more of the split toe socks available.

I love these shoes, they are all I train with at the gym and go for walks in. People either love them or hate them because of the split toe - I am a lover as I wear flip flops all the time and am used to the feeling. The style on the site right now is a little stiff, so not my favorite, however if they ever have a fabric or breathable option choose those first. Runs a little small, I am a 9.5 so I definitely wear a 10 here. I love Zappos!

Easiest, most comfortable shoes to wear! I absolutely love these, except for the split toes. That's not really bothersome, but I don't see the point of it! Otherwise, these are great shoes for bopping around or airport travel, as they are light, comfortable, and come on and off easily. Your feet will get sweaty if you wear them without socks, but that's true of so many shoes. I've worn them constantly for a year and they've held up quite well.

These are my favorite tennis type shoes ever!! Perfect for walks - perfect for wii fit or other type of floor exercise. I have the pink and wish they still had the black in my size. I regret not getting them both when I had the chance and could have sent them back for free if they didn\'t fit. Zappo please replenish this shoe. Zappo is the best place to buy shoes. You can\'t beat the customer attitude and service. Fabulous!! Thank you!

Great shoe! All shoes should be this comfortable, easy, and cool. I keep these in my car and can throw them on in a jiff. Perfect for a lunch break walk, running errands after a long day in heels, or kicking around town on the weekend. I don't feel totally dorky wearing these with non sporty clothes. They are so, so comfortable, I am thinking about getting a pair for my mom who is on her feet a lot of the day, and my 85 year old grandma who is constantly complaining about uncomfortable shoes. I have only two complaints...the price and the fact that you can't wear regular socks, Nike not making any special socks.

These shoes are the coolest! They will definitely get noticed. They are super comfortable and to me feel a bit like an enclosed flip-flop. Easy on and easy off and well cushioned. Zappos service is the BEST on the planet. Their shipping is unbelievable, and their customer service is A-1. I tell everyone I know to shop at Zappos. I am a customer for life!

Excellent shoe for man or woman... First off just like to say that I’m a man, not a woman but I was unable to find these shoes anywhere outside of the UK for men. I had to wait a good while for a pair to become available in a size large enough for my feet. Size 13 womens/11 mens was still a tight fit though. First off they look gorgeous; they have a very unique look with the split toe design. You'll be getting a lot of looks at your shoes should you buy these and even more questions on where you purchased them. I gave comfort 4 stars instead of 5 simply because it took a while for my feet to shape the shoe. Once it was worn in a bit it was like I was not wearing any shoes at all (in a good way mind you). Very light, incredibly comfortable and they are very easy to adjust to your own comfort level with the straps on the back and front. It may seem strange at first with the split toe design but once you actually have them on you’ll wonder why more of this type of shoe aren’t around. It makes the shoe incredibly comfortable. Don’t expect to be wearing socks (there are places where you can purchase socks for this shoe but I think no socks is the better way to go). Overall, yes I’m a man and I bought women’s shoes; they are a very nice shoe for a man or a woman. If you’re a guy and want a pair of these just buy the women’s size two sizes above your own and you’re good to go. If you’re feet are larger then size 12 then you might be out of luck.

Best tennis shoe ever - I have been looking for the right tennis shoe that wasn’t too heavy and bulky. I found this shoe and just fell in love with it. I have ordered three pair so far. I plan on getting every color. I don’t have an arch so it works for me and I am very petite. I love it. Wouldn’t change it for nothing in the world.

Super Cute! But a little snug... It very well could be my fault, but because I was not planning on wearing them with socks, I ordered a half size smaller. I think Nike assumes you aren't going to wear socks, so they did it for you. Order your true size. Other than that, I LOVE THESE SHOES!

Very happy with these! My feet are different sizes (my left foot is a 7, while my right is a 6.5), so I always have problems with maryjane-style shoes rubbing and chafing and being either too loose or too tight. But a 7 in these fit me perfectly and I have had no blisters whatsoever! I give them 4 stars for style because I really don't see the point of the split toe, and it's a little weird to get used to (though you can wear socks with these with no problem). But otherwise, it's a perfect blend of sneaker and maryjane!

Awesome - I love these shoes. Recovering from foot surgery and the space in-between the big toe is very comfortable and aids in the healing process. My feet sweat and these shoes are hot but throw in the wash with a little mule borax, air dry and they are as good as new. If you are suffering from bunion pain or have had surgery, these shoes are the ones for you.
