Customer Reviews Nike Air Monarch IV

These shoes are the best fitting and comfortable shoes I have owned. The only downside is they squeak after awhile and it is really annoying sometimes.

The most comfortable shoe...I am a valet and run a parking lot and stairs all day. I have bought 4 pairs and blow though them in 6 months. Big negative -- and why I buy every 6 months, They start to squeak and squeak a lot to the point it's embarrassing to walk around guests when it's quiet. But I buy again and again for the comfort. 2 other co-workers have bought these and experienced the squeaks as well.

A month after breaking them in they started squeaking whenever I step down. I've never had a pair of shoes do that before. I have found Nikes are a full size smaller than marked. I normally wear 8 but in Nikes I wear 9.

love the shoes they seem to run a little small so plan on a larger size. At least that was my experience

I've worn Air Monarchs for the past 15+ years but I'm going to have to stop. This is my second pair that has started squeaking after a few months. Not sole squeaking, but air bubbles squeaking like a clown on meth. The awesome return policy can't help me here (bought them 4 months ago) so it's just a loss.

I love these shoes, won't buy anything else for work. One problem, they squeak and I have a fix for that. Put some baby powder in your shoes and the squeaking goes away. It works for any shoes that squeak.

Makes very loud squeaking noises when walking. Sent back to Zappos. Thanks, Zappos, for great return service!

Nike Air Monarch IV are the most comfortable everyday shoes I have ever owned. I have owned(worn out)several pairs and I always need a half size larger than normal. They naturally run a little on the wide side but not enough to be an issue for me.

Great price on a great pair of shoes. Excellent service and speedy delivery. My son needed these for a trip he was taking and got them the the next day!

Love the Nike Air Monarch! I can't find any other shoe that fits my size 4E width. They fit great and are "cushy" when you walk!

This item was not available locally in wide sizes, so Zappos to the rescue! Great item, good fit, even cheaper if I had found it in a store, and best of all free shipping!

It's difficult to find good shoes with wide feet like mine, and I've been pleased with the Nike Air Monarch for years.

Most comfortable sneaker I've ever worn. Retail box stores never have my size or it's a big deal to order them in for me. Zappo's had them to me in 2 days and for a much better price. I'd never think of going anywhere else.Bought a pair for just walking, but have since got a pair for work. I walk 5 miles a day usually and these are the most comfortable i've ever experienced before.

This pair of shoes has been the worst I've ever bought. They pinch the pinky toes and the insole always flops to the right or left after typing the top. But the greatest problem with these shoes is the squeaking. I've never had a pair of shoes that squeak like these. Even if it's 100 degrees out without rain in weeks it sounds like I'm walking with wet shoes. I did all the tricks, cutting holes in the bottom to release air but even that eventually doesn't work. Simply a waste, I anti-recommend to the highest degree.

Thank you -- again -- Zappos! I first tried these at a local Academy. Loved them, but the price was beyond my "footgear" budget now that I'm retired. Then found them on Zappos, where I'd shopped several times before. I was also able to browse the numerous reviews -- most supremely positive of these cloud-comfort zones. Now I wear these daily. They were here in less than a week, full guarantee that -- if they weren't "exactly" what I had expected, I'd merely ship them back at no cost. Well, they were the exact shoe I wanted. But I felt better with each step knowing I'd paid less than my local outlet's price. Like one of the reviewers, I might just order another pair in case Nike decides to discontinue the Monarch IV. They're that good! I've had recent sciatica flare ups with the radiating pain down my thigh and through my knee. These beauties have helped the situation quite a bit. They also seem very cool in this West Texas triple digit blast furnace. Oops -- almost forgot -- I have a pretty narrow foot (10.5 A or B). The Monarchs can be laced to give a nice hold on my instep and arch. Many of the tennis/training/running shoes are very wide. Back in my salad days, I used to wear those fine Converse clay court tennis shoes for extreme comfort. These Monarchs are the closest I've come to those "shoes of youth." I also put a layer of clear Kiwi shoe polish on them for easy cleaning. Don't like that liquid white stuff. Thanks Zappos.

Wanted a specific shoe, and Zappos had it. Ordered, and delivery was excellent. Product was as ordered and delivered in record time, and I will order from them again.

Hubby wears a size 14/15, and it was so nice not to have to search and travel to the mall for his sizes. Zappos will be his # 1 shopping spot from here on out. Great comfortable shoes, only kind he'll wear.

Good looking shoe. Cleans up nicely. Comfortable but heavier than anticipated. Used to more of a running shoe style/weight. Love the fact it doesn't have that crappy plastic look Nike has been putting on their shoes the past few years. All leather or canvas.

This is my husband's second pair, and while they are very comfortable after a week they squeak so bad that you can hardly stand it. His first pair squeaked too, we thought it was just a fluke. Guess not.

These shoes fit and feel great right out of the box. I work at Costco where there are no sit down jobs so I am on my feet over eight hours a day. I have been buying Air Monarch IIIs for years in white. They do not stay white. I finally found them in black at Zappos. Thank you, Zappos, you are my new favorite shoe store.

I bought the shoes for work. Be careful for slippery tiles; it doesn't have too much traction. Comfortable, good support. I work standing on my feet all day so it does a good job with that. Heavy though not for sports.

I ordered these shoes for my husband who has a slightly wider foot than average. He loves these shoes for their comfort and support which he needs, because he's active and sporty. This black pair is his second pair of Air Monarch IV's and he plans to get another pair in all white. Overall, I'd definitely recommend these shoes not only for comfort but for style, too.

A good fit for wide flat feet. Shoe seems flat inside which is great for me. Good weight room or casual shoes.

Love the shoes and the comfort, but squeak, squeak, squeak. Is Nike going to do anything about this annoyance? Just bought a second pair which has a different configuration on the soles and the don't squeak yet. Hope this fixed the problem as I really like the shoes.

This is an extremely comfortable pair of shoes. I love the style, as well as the extra inch that it gives me. However, realize that these are not really an ideal pair of shoes to be using for sports. The sole is much too thick. However for hiking/walking/comfortable wear purposes, it is perfect.
