Customer Reviews Nike Air Monarch IV

Love, love, love!! I walk 3 miles every day and they are so comfortable. I would not buy any other shoe. No squeaks. Zappos are the best and their shipping is outstanding!

Product as described. I bought two pairs of this style in white for my husband. He loves the Air Monarch shoe. He asked me to get a pair in black. He is very pleased.

Big winner for big guys. Have ordered several pair of these Air Monarch IVs - in both colors. The full air sole is perfect for a big man like me (6'6" and 280 lbs). The support and cushioning are fantastic, helping to manage the pain from several sports-related ankle surgeries. Other Nike models without the full air sole just won't do, as they break down quickly.

I was going to purchase these shoes from Amazon, but they priced higher. Zappos gave me excellent service, the shoes fit perfectly, and came in 2 days as promised. These are the most comfortable Nike's I have ever worn, and that's over 40 years buying Nike exclusively. If you want a great shoe at a great price, and free delivery, buy Zappos!

Fast delivery! Seriously great service, great quality and do not forget the price! I found these shoes on another site and almost bought them, and I am glad that I did not, as they were more expensive! So thank you, Zappos, for the great service and I will be coming back to buy all of my future shoes.

Great shoe but you have to know the secret! Shortly after getting these, they developed an extremely aggravating squeak with every step. Almost tossed them but found a solution online. Remove inserts from inside of shoe. These are lightly glued in so it may take a little effort. Then coat the inside with some kind of powder, I used baking soda because it's all I had. Put the inserts back in and the squeak is gone for good! These are extremely durable shoes and very comfortable. I walk 6-10 miles a day at work and they hold up great. I have been buying these for years. As long as you know the secret, you will be happy with these.

I've purchased this particular shoe for many years. For whatever reason this shoe now appears to be much narrower than years past. I've recently purchased from 2 different stores and had to return on both occasions as the show was not wearable due to the narrowness that impinges the little toe. Extremely uncomfortable and would not recommend purchasing.

I have also had issues with loud squeaking when I walk. The shoes are relatively comfortable and wear nicely, but the noise is rather a deal breaker for me. I'm going to be going with a different brand in future.

Great shoe that provides good support and very comfortable for walking long distances. The style is fashionable and current. Priced fair and good value for money spent.

I've been buying this model shoe for the past 15+ years. I'm on my feet all day, & struggle to find shoes that don't pain me after a few days, when new. This model has changed some over the years, & gotten cheaper in ways (like the sole). The current version seems to still be robust & comfy enough to last me several months without failing. Don't know why no one else currently has the grey/green color option. It looks nice without being loud.

I am not a sneaker guy; however, my wife bought me the first pair of these. I have reordered 2 times. These are worn every day, everywhere. They have held up very well. Sand, long walks, snow, working on the boat, etc. I cannot speak to athletic qualities, but the shoe is a quality sneaker.

Husband loves these! He has medium to wide toes and a narrow heel, and these shoes in Wide width accommodate his toes yet do not slip off the heel. Support also seems to be good. He tried the regular width, but they are somewhat narrow/pointy in the toe box and did mot work.

Excellent service! First shipment was too wide and they were exchanged right away. Next pair were perfect.

Love the way they look and feel, but after 3 pairs of them and they all are the noisiest shoe I've ever worn. The squeak loudly with every step. I will not buy again.

I love Nike Air soles. They provide good support and are comfortable. Zappos is on of the few places where I can find them.

Although I have ordered this style and size in the past, these seem to be a bit narrow and tend to pinch my toes. I am wearing them in the hope that they will get "broken in" but I have never had to do that before.

I walk three times per day due to type 2 diabetes. I have wide feet. These shoes are true to size and very comfortable. I bought multiple pairs to alternate with the walks. All are excellent in quality and last a long time.

The shoe is light but thick. The fit is good. There is ample padding all around, and underneath. The souls are a little stiff and don't bend, which is why it's a walking shoe, not a running shoe. If you want to push off the ball of your foot, the shoe will pull away from your heel/achilles tendon. I would've preferred the View III, but Nike doesn't make men's View III in white. Overall the shoe is acceptable.

They don't seem like the cushiony air soles of years past. I think Nike has cheapened the product for more profit. Still more comfortable than Adidas or other shoes.

Standard 4E Nike fit, perfect shoes, delivered quickly. Great all around workout shoe, not necessarily for running, though. Great experience with Zappos.

I'm praying for a miracle with this latest purchase from Zappos! I have owned numerous pairs of this exact shoe over the last 10-12 years and invariably the shoe sole begins to squeak and make popping noises within about a year. Take note when you purchase these of the date stamped on the tongue of the shoe. This latest pair had a date stamp that was already 1 year ago. The date stamp according to Nike tells when the shoe was manufactured and they WILL NOT TAKE BACK ANY SHOE THAT IS OVER 2 YEARS OLD ACCORDING TO THAT STAMP. Because I bought these from Zappos I am praying that their one year return policy is for real. If I hear even the slightest noise from the soles of these shoes I'm sending them back ASAP. I even kept the box to return them. Honestly Nike doesn't really seem to care about the problem because these shoes have consistently had this issue for a LONG time. Buyer Beware!

I used the size chart and ordered a size 10 and it was perfect length. However the width was very narrow and I had to return shoes because it pinched my toes. I ordered the wide version and it was a nice fit and I have no complaints. But I didn't know I had wide feet until I bought these shoes.

Here is where Nike is missing it. The squeak is not coming from between the sole and the surface being walked on. It is coming from the materials in the sole. Even when walking on carpet, the squeak is still there. I tried spraying WD-40 under the insole but it did not help. This is a major design flaw. It is loud enough to turn heads and get weird looks.
