The Nike Air Monarch ll is the best sneaker ever made. It is constructed like a shoe, all black, and extremely comfortable. My son has a size 17 foot. This shoe saved his life because the Catholic school requires all students wear one type of school shoe, and this shoe looks exactly like the school shoe. The school shoe largest size is size 13. Anyone working needing a dress shoe should consider this sneaker that looks like a shoe. If you have extra big feet or have problems with pain from wearing dress shoes hurting your feet all day, buy this sneaker. Zappos is the best company ever to give consumers with extra big feet a chance to purchase stylish shoes. It is the only site to be able to purchase size 17 Uggs for men. No store sells this size. Thank you Zappos for keeping my son in fashion

Perfect arch support and fit. Feels great immediately. No break-in time needed. Put them on out of the box and left for work.

Do you like really loud sneakers? These shoes are very comfortable but after 3 months squeak constantly while walking. If you enjoy being the center of attention get these shoes. They make everyone look at you as you walk through a quiet area and attract everyone's attention with a "Squeak... thump... Squeak... thump". Though in all fairness the other shoe has started to squeak so its all squeak all the time. It's a shame because otherwise they are fantastic; I've never owned a more comfortable pair, but now after 3 months I'll be tossing them out.

I think this is a great shoe. It fits like I\\\'ve been wearing them all summer. They didn\\\'t need to be \\\'broken in\\\'. I bought a pair for my son too.

“Just do it.”

Nike offers a vast array of products for an active sports lifestyle. Because every athlete wants to be better, Nike is able to outfit an athlete from the top down with high performance shoes, clothing, socks, bags, watches and eyewear. Since today’s sports are about creating great athletes and transforming them into great players, Nike is there every step of the way to enhance each training experience, making each workout count.

Top quality and performance are key to unlocking your inner potential. With a pair of Nike Shox beneath your feet and a Nike Dri-Fit ensemble to help deflect sweat and discomfort, your goals will be within reach. No matter what your goals are, Nike knows that training and running are a way of life. Keep up with your active lifestyle and prepare for the game with the NikeFit apparel system.

If swimming is more your game, Nike Swimwear has got you covered. From training to team swimwear, Nike remains at the forefront of new and innovative technologies. Nike Swim is constantly striving to develop new fabrics for more comfortable and effective swimwear. Since harsh, chlorinated water is hard on swimsuits, Nike has created an answer with Nike NX fabric. This chlorine-resistant, colorfast nylon fabric can withstand long hours of training and competition while retaining its shape throughout the life of the garment. Excellent shape retention and soft, lightweight comfort can be found with Nike Swimwear that utilizes Nike EVR-X poly fabric. This unique fabric blends in the revolutionary chlorine-proof Dow XLA™ fiber with a comfortable stretch for maximum performance and comfort.

Nike continues to seek new and innovative ways to develop superior athletic products, and creative methods to communicate directly with Nike consumers. Nike Free, Nike+ and Nike Sphere are just three examples of this approach. Nike has always been at the front of technical integration, whether it is from Bill Bowerman’s wife’s waffle iron outsole, the revolutionary Nike Pegasus, to Nike Air technology; Nike is always pushing the envelope on creativity. When it comes to creativity and functionality, Nike’s motto is “Just do it.”

Great shoes. I couldn't walk without pain until I got this pair; wear them for other casual events also.

I have been buying the Nike Air Monarch sneakers for many years. They are simple, all-around sneakers that I can wear anywhere. They are comfortable, supportive, and the wide width works well for me. I have 3 pairs of these sneakers. I use the oldest pair for working outside doing light chores like raking leaves.

I bought a white pair of the Nike Air Monarch III for myself. I was surprised by the light weight of the shoe, but at the same time they fit true to size. They feel just as comfortable on the blacktop as on the backwoods trail. I would definitely purchase these shoes again. And as always I love the fast and friendly service at Zappos! Keep up the good work.

This is a very comfortable shoe. I always have to order a size larger with Nikes, but overall it is still a great shoe for an entire day at work.

I am a car salesman and in the fall/winter months we are supposed to wear slacks and dress shoes. I have a bad back and have to wear athletic style shoes. These shoes can be used in many different settings, both athletic and casual. I get away with being comfortable while the other salesmen I work with get those "stuffy" hard dress shoes. I am very happy with these!
Other Brands Recommended by Reviewer: Nike also makes a really cool black "hiking" style boot. I might try them for the snowy weather this year.

Product was delivered on time and is as advertised! I doubt these shoes will ever wear out. With a trip through the dishwasher, they clean up very well.

I tried the Nike Air Monarch in black after I couldn\'t find a comfortable New Balance equivalent. The Monarch fits my wide foot well and offers plenty of cushioning for my morning walk/run. I like them so much I\'ve just ordered a pair in white.\r\n\r\nThe “pros” are that it is very comfortable and it offers much more support than a typical running shoe.\r\n\r\nThe “cons” are that it is a little clunky looking, especially compared to the New Balance 620. The Monarch is a bit difficult to wear with, say, a pair of jeans as the top of the shoe is so wide the cuff won\'t fit over it. The Monarch is a bit squeaky, even on concrete.\r\n\r\nOverall, I really like this shoe. My New Balance 620s had the interior fabric wear away at the back of the left heel even though there was plenty of wear left in the shoe itself. I\'m hoping I\'ll get better wear from the Monarch.

As a long time consumer of New Balance shoes, I thought I'd try these, Nike Air Monarch III. It has been 3 weeks now and working 58 hours a week wearing these shoes on a factory floor has given me ample time to evaluate them. Very satisfied with fit, and comfort is better than the NB shoes I have had through the years. Hopefully the fabric inside the wall of the heel will last longer than NB, but the fabric seems to be similar.

My husband bought 2 pairs of these in white, but none of the stores in our area had them in black. The shoes are for a Christmas present, and I am assuming they will be as good as the white ones.\r\nThe order was shipped quickly and was as requested. Thank you for good service.

These are fantastic shoes. Very plump and comfy cushioning. I am very happy with these shoes. Consider ordering a 1/2 size larger because there is such a snug fit.

Squeaky shoes - I've had these sneakers for about 3 months and they never stopped squeaking. They appear to wear very quickly as well. Overall I'm disappointed.

My son has flat feet and wears an extra wide shoe; impossible to find at local shoe stores. He hasn't been able to wear Nikes before, so I jumped on the chance to pick up these in an extra wide at a fantastic price! They arrived the next day. I love Zappos!

The shoes fit perfect right out of the box. Extremely comfortable. I'm buying another pair as a spare. Love the shoes and the customer service, too. Best internet company, heck, best company customer service I've experienced in a long time.

The Nike Air Monarch III shoe is OK but falls short of the quality of shoe purchased 3 years ago. The 4E Nike that I first purchased fit quite well. The 4E Nike: Air Monarch III does not. In fact, I've already given it to a charity organization - then went to a store in the next town to purchase a shoe that fit. Which was a shoe made by New Balance. Best to go to a store and try the shoe on first. I've learned my lesson. Of course, if you find one locally that fits, and you can save money by ordering the same shoe online might work for you - but the same shoe may be made in different Asian countries, and not be quite the same. Zappos did zip the shoe to me pronto - but since the recent recession, so has everyone I purchase from on the internet. It seems it goes out before you can change your mind. Hope this helps someone.

Great all around work shoe. Sturdy, comfortable and long lasting. Good for the 190# guy who is on his feet all day. A large number of the maintenance / construction staff a UCSC wear this shoe. I buy 2 pairs a year. One for work and one for town / beach.
Other Brands Recommended by Reviewer: Use Nike Air Pegasus for jogging.
