Customer Reviews Nike Air Monarch IV

Didn't work for me. I bought a pair in red/black, 15 4E and they were great. So I ordered the same shoe one in black and one in white. Both of these had a seam that rubbed on my little toe. I thought they would get better as they loosened up. They did not, can't wear either pair, big callus on my toe and severe pain. Not sure why they fit different but the do by a lot,

Was not happy. Shoe was heavy and rubbed against my ankle bone.

Fit/size fine. Glue holding sole on fails prematurely, then I have to buy shoe goo from walmart to repair them. Advice for people when the shoes get noisy. Pull out the inner cushion and put baby powder in the shoe then put the cushion back in. Noise is coming from the glue breaking down between the sole of shoe and inner liner. I read to do this on the internet and it does work.

Should have ordered a size 11-1/2. And, it was not listed as non-skid soles.

Toe box is small. Had to return. Love zappos support team.

Nice shoe. Arch support not adequate. Shoe felt very heavy and awkward.

This shoe has a lot of upper — it's a bigger, heavier shoe, and the uppers are significantly more built than comparable wide shoes.

comfortable sneaks, but wear out quickly. However I will NEVER purchase a Nike product again. I respect my country more than supporting such a disrespectful company.

I wear 4E. It is what my current shoes are. However these felt tight, narrow.

Comfort level is fine but there is minor rubbing on both my pinky toes.

Not bad for the money but they run small.

We love these shoes, they do run a little small and narrow, so at least a half size bigger would be recommended. They are comfortable for long days on your feet, but they are squeaky on certain floor types which can be annoying and sometimes embarrassing.

We were trying to find a pair of Nikes similar to the Air Definition which I’ve worn for several years, but this style Air Monarch IV, while similar in looks, is built with a curved last which is not suitable for flat feet or over pronation, We need a style made with a straighter last like the Air Definition which apparently is no longer available.. I was fortunate to have purchased 4 pairs of Air Definition before they became unavailable.. too bad they have discontinued making it, they are excellent sneakers. Can not wear the Air Monarch because it is too curved and causes pain on flat feet which overpronate.

Wish they had better arch support.

Lasted maybe 4 to 5 months not worn everyday.

While these shoes fit nicely and get the job done, the stitching is already coming apart after a week of wear. I guess you get what you pay for on some sites.

Please tell Nike to make cool grey and white color in xw width. I'll buy 10 pair I'm a size 11xw

I have been wearing Nike Air Monarch's since 2000. In the past they were the most comfortable & cushioned sneaker I have ever worn. My go to sneaker for workouts, shooting hoops, running, & walking. I recommended them to whoever would listen. Unfortunately in the last 7-10 yrs or so sneakers just aren't being made the same. Most are made in two parts with a seperate sole with the stupid, unecessary toe guard that's glued onto the upper portion of the shoe & they inevitably fall apart much sooner than they should. I had a pair of Air Monarchs in 2011 that last 5 yrs before they needed replacing. I can't say that about the latest version. Bought two pair thinking I was getting the same quality of my past Air Monarchs but ater two months (with alternating the pairs) I'm already seeing stiching around the two that's fraying as well as the shoe losing it's form in a couple of spots. Still love the design but the quality & comfort of the past are no longer there.

Fits great, nice style. After wearing for some months, now they squeak every time I am walking. Don't know wh, but beware...

Very comfortable but just a bit too bulky. These shoes are 50% larger in height and outside width than 4 other similar brands I ordered at the same time. They look like more like low cut boots than shoes.

Good value for the money but the toe box is very tight. I have worn a D width my whole life and these D width shoes are just barely long enough and tight in the toes. Hopefully they will break in after a month. If you need a wide toe box, look elsewhere.

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.

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.

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.

I have owned numerous pairs of these comfortable fitting shoes. All squeaked after a couple of weeks. I decided to contact Nike directly about the issue. They said they needed to do tests on the shoes and would provide a refund if they were defective. So I suggest to all, if you love the shoes but they squeak, send them directly to Nike. Perhaps if they get enough of them in the mail they will realize there is a flaw and correct it. I love the shoes but the noise if irritating.
