Customer Reviews Nike Air Monarch IV

The squeak started in both shoes 6 days after i started wearing them. I have tried everything to stop the squeaking to no avail.Its unbelievable that Zappos would sell such a poorly manufactured product. Time to try shoes.com and and another shoe.

After several days the shoes began to squeak. They were not exposed to water at any time.

Will return for a larger size. Love the looks of the shoe but it runs small.

The first pair really hurt the outside of my left foot. The right shoe was fine. I tried to break these in for weeks but my left foot was killing me. I exchanged them for a second pair, and the right shoe started squeaking after about 10 days and would not stop. I tried to exchange a third time and Zappos was out of stock in my size. I decided to go with the New Balance MID626v2. Hopefully they will do the job.

These are no longer 4E. As a wide footed person my whole life, I've been relying on these as my go to shoes for over a decade, and now they'er gone. Footbed is completely different in order to save 0.3 oz of rubber and shipping. Awful.

Most annoying shoes. Every move they "FART". Always farting these shoes even when I'm standing still. 3rd pair I buy.

These sneakers suck. They get dirty easily. They squeak and "FART" every step you take and they squeak and "FART" when you're just standing still!! Bad sneakers!

Had these for 2 weeks they started SQUEAKING so bad So LOUD, I had to throw them in the TRASH!!! Buyer Beware!!!

Bought these for bodyweight exercises, jumprope, high knees, etc. Shoes offer little to no support in front of archand can't workout in them for more than 15 minutes without severe pain. Already trying out insoles after less than a week.

The shoes felt perfect and looked great. The issue was they squeaked so loud I had to return them. These were a replacement for a previous pair of Air Monarch's I've worn for the last 4 years. Very disappointed at the shoes quality.

Could not even get my foot in the shoes. WAY too narrow. The leather did not "give".

Wish I could return item

good

Did not fit. Right shoe had problems with insert. There was a poor fit, like a ridge across the ball of your foot inside the right shoe. Shoes were replaced but second pair had similar problem with right shoe. Seems like there was an issue with the way the insert was glued in the right shoe. Left shoe was OK for both sets of shoes. These were Black size 11 medium width. May not be an issue with other sizes or colors.

ZERO stars, I would not recommend these. No matter how well they fit, the squeaky noise they make with every footstep is not worth it. There is something wrong inside these sneakers, and no, you cannot remove the padding / footbed inside because of the way it is glued in. I am actually GLAD that sneaker soles only last about 6 months because these Nike Air Monarch IV are simply garbage. Do not buy these unless you do not mind squeaky steps no matter where you walk, no matter what the surface.

Broke the first time my son tried to lace them up. Two pairs now with defects Not a happy customer.

Just not my style of shoe it would be ok as a work shoe in all black but not a very stylish shoe in my opinion

Fine if only the footbed was cushioned

The air cushion leaks causing a squeaking sound.

This shoes exactly good, but Zappos send me the 4E Extra Wide model , no D Medium :( so it fits bad because of width

Toe box was WAY too narrow for my wide feet, but this is the case with every shoe I have ever worn besides Crocs. Also way too much padding on the heel, making ergonomic gait basically impossible.

I've owned at least ten pairs of this exact shoe over the years. It's the shoe I work in. It's squeaky, but really comfortable. That said, I returned this pair and will never buy another pair of Nike shoes again. If they choose to applaud someone like Colin Kaepernick, then I choose to spend my money on another company's products. Zappos handled the return perfectly and I'll be buying something else from Zappos to replace these.

This was to be my second pair of Nike Air Monarch IV. I came across the first pair several years ago and, after learning how to get rid of the infamous squeak (baby powder under the insole), they were the most comfortable shoes I ever had. I wore them whenever I could. They were my automatic choice for trips. Being black leather, I could almost get away with them when 'dressing up'. I finally wore the soles down and I was eager to get a brand new pair. I'm sorry (really sorry) to report that these are not the Nike Air Monarchs I previously had. They seemed a little 'stiffer' when I put them through the indoor on-the-carpet test period but I could not wait to get out there with my new favorite shoes. In print, on the box and inside the shoe, these are the exact same size (12 4E) as the old ones but that's where the similarity ends. They never 'relaxed' to a comfortable shape and remain smaller and tighter than their predecessors. They gave me corns. They restrict my feet until, by day's end, I can't stand having them on. The original pair are so far back in my order history that I'm not going to try to compare SKU numbers, but these are either a different batch that are cut differently or they are a smaller size that is mislabeled. Like I said, I've tried them outside too much now so I guess I'm stuck with them.

I've had 4 pair of them. I would love the shoe, Except after a while, they all start squeaking loudly when you walk. It blows my mind that they haven't fixed this problem since most folks have experienced it and it's widely known. Too noticeable to keep wearing them.

They do not fit very well , i hate them
