Favorite shoe

I was so excited to see the Nike Air Rift in black/black was available in my size, size 6 women. All black has not been easy to find. The shoe is so comfortable. I normally wear a 6.5 - 7, but in this specific shoe style, I get a 6 for a better fit - Size 7 is too loose for me. The shoe is also so versatile, you can really wear it with anything. The Velcro closure on the top of the shoe and back of the heel helps make adjustments easy. Very happy with my purchase!

Good purchase for the warmer months

The sneakers are comfortable but the separation at the top of the shoes takes time getting use to and breaking into.

defective with a smell

Was excited to see a pair was available. Upon arrival I tried these on. Opening the box had a strong smell of moth balls or essential oil. Not a deal breaker. Left foot fit okay the right big toe was tight as if something was in the shoe further investigation nothing in shoe but it was poorly made. Hint why it was available to purchase. Plans to return and hopefully no one order this pair. I wanted to love these
