I have 3 pairs of Monarch IIIs in use for different purposes. The oldest pair has worn down to yard work duty, the next oldest walks / jogs the dog, and newest pair for causal activities. My favorite shoe. As long as they make them, I'll keep buying them.

Recently I purchased a pair of Nike Air Monarch shoes. The pricing was very competitive and I was excited that they were available in my size 10 1/2 M. They arrived in a timely manner with paper work enclosed. I checked to confirm the size with that of the same style I had which were completely worn out. They were the same size so I tossed the old ones along with the paper work. The new pair does not fit at all and my reward is that my two big toes are now black.

These shoes are really comfortable. I have LOTS of athletic shoes and these rank on top of my list. I wear these daily because of the good cushioning and support. For those of us in the blue-collar world in need of a black polishable shoe with great traction, then the Nike Monarch III is the shoe to buy. This is the shoe tailored for the "Industrial Athlete."

UPS Tough! I have been a UPS driver for 23 years and have a million pairs of shoes. These nikes so far 6 weeks worth have been really good and a few other drivers at work are buying them too. Comfort is good and only downfall so far is they are slick when wet, traction is not good in the rain but hey for the money they are worth it.

Great Shoe - These shoes are the perfect blend of softness in the insole and support with the upper. I wear them to work because I need a sturdy, comfortable shoe but don't need steel toe. These shoes are also terrific walking shoes. I ended up buying two more pairs as "inventory" for when they wear out and I need to replace them.

Great shoe! This shoe is the most comfortable sneaker I have found. I am a big guy 6'4" 300lbs. and have to wear wide shoes; 4E or 5E size 13. Zappos carries these sizes and retail stores do not have a good selection in that size. Normally, I have issues with foot fatigue whether it is from working out at the gym or walking. I walk at least a couple miles per day. These shoes are quite comfortable. After I had them for a couple of weeks I accessed the site to order another pair in case they are no longer carried. My feet are happy with this shoe!!!

In the past year and a half I have purchased these shoes for my husband three separate times at Zappos as he is not able to find 12.5 reg width in any store where we live. He works for UPS and is on his feet all day long (8+ hours). These shoes are the only ones that support his feet and stand up to the extreme wear and tear of daily use! Please do not stop carrying these shoes.

Great for Cross Training - I have tried a number of fitness shoes for spinning, weight training, treadmill and other fitness center equipment. The Air Monarch III provides me the most support and comfort for this 62 year old body. This is my 2nd pair. Will not buy any others.

Lower cost alternative to new balance mw845 in size 15 4E - I normally wear new balance mw 845 to work every day. I bought the nike's to wear on my day off and to just give me a change. I have had them for about a month so far and they feel good. I don't know if they would hold up as well as the NB shoes for everyday use as I weigh 310lbs and I'm very hard on shoes. However the price is much less and I thought I would give them a try. They appear to have good support much like the rollbar support in the NB. I only wear the New Balance shoes that have the roll bar support; however, these are somewhat pricy. I’m not complaining because they make a great shoe but it’s nice to find a lower price shoe that is comfortable that I can wear for leisure. As for Zappos service OUTSTANDING. Ordered 830 in evening, had them next morning and the shipping was free! Thanks Zappos.

Great Shoe! Since I got surgery on my feet, I require extra wide - 4E. It’s very hard to find a comfortable extra wide shoe. This shoe is great and very comfortable. Don't forget to order a little bit larger than your size. My size is normally 9.5, but I find this shoe is a bit too small so I exchanged it with size 10 - 4E. Found it’s perfect and gave a plenty of inside room on front of my feet so it won't hurt my feet that was on surgery. I walked all day. No problem. Great to buy!!!

Good cross trainers for the impact challenged - I've pounded out the cartilage over time, and these shoes give me much needed relief when walking on the streets.

Very good shoe - This is a newer version of monarch that I had appox.5 years ago and the comfort is still as good. Very good for cardio work outs and any other activity. The only reason for 4stars on comfort the toe box tapers a little so if you have wide feet (I do not) it might be an issue. And 4 stars on looks was just because I liked the color scheme better... otherwise this is a solid shoe that will take a lot of use.

Air Monarch III - I like the look of the shoes, but they are a small size 14-4E. I thought they would be a little bigger than they are. I only wore a size 13-3E until I ordered these. And still my toe comes up to the very end of the shoe. If I order another pair of Nike I will order a size 15 4-E.

Disappointed in the comfort! These shoes look pretty good in black but, after having worn them for a good while now, I realize that they aren't too comfortable. I walk and stand on concrete floors at work on 12 hr. shifts and I'm telling you, they hurt the bottom of my feet after just a few hours. I hope to have better results with my new Brooks Addiction Walkers in the 09' version. Since I buy shoes based on customer reviews, I had to be honest about the Nike Air Monarch III's.

Comfortable shoes for big feet - I have now owned six pairs of this particular shoe. I have very wide feet and this shoe comes in quad E. It holds up well.

Comfortable shoes, good cushion! I bought these shoes because I am on my feet all day walking. They offer good support and cushion. This is the second pair that I have owned. They are just as comfortable, if not more so, than other more expensive styles.

I love this pair of boots!!! They are so impressively comfortable; I think these are the most wearable heels I own. A plus is that they're still fashionable and sexy with the corset-like detail in the back. I get compliments on them every time I wear them! I cannot praise these boots enough. Also, I wanted to mention how much I love Zappos. This was my first purchase with them, and it most certainly will not be my last.

Ultimate Comfort - I have a very high arch and wide foot, making it almost impossible to find a shoe that fits, let alone is comfortable. I am tempted to order several more pairs in case Nike ever discontinues this model. If you have the same problem, this is just about as comfortable as a shoe you will ever find. I am tempted to order several more pairs in case Nike ever discontinues this model. I just wish they would make this shoe in a bit dressier style so I could wear it for business casual.
