Customer Reviews Nike Air Monarch IV

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.

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

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.

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.

The perfect classic look. Too bad it is crap. After two months they started making a horrible squeaking noise!

Don't waste your money! I have now purchased two pairs of these and both pairs started squeaking within a month of purchase - just from normal use. I don't run/jog/sports or anything. I am a photographer and walk around a lot...but, really - less than a month after purchase these squeak to the point of complete annoyance! Don't waste your money! I am not the only one with this complaint - check out other reviews on the internet.

I bought 2 pairs and had to return them both; very comfortable shoe. Both after about 6 weeks both pairs, which were all black, developed a very loud squeak in the shoe. It was horrible. I was so disappointed since they are so comfortable.

These are very comfortable right out of the box and then they even get more comfortable but they squeak when I step. They are embarrassing! In spite of the great comfort I wouldn't recommend these shoes for anyone. They look like any other shoes of this type.

These are the worst pair of shoes I have ever owned. I have never had a pair that squeaked so much. My coworkers started calling me Squeaky because of them. Both shoes had an issue, not just one of them. I would suggest passing on these.

Okay, first pair was good until they came unglued from a hot day this summer - they started to show signs of this a few months before this big problem. Nike has a 2 year warranty - now the 2nd pair was a good inch too big -- whats up Nike? So it's back to NB for me.

This is my third pair of these. Overall, a good, inexpensive cross trainer. However, my latest pair squeaks like crazy!! It's become very annoying and distracting. I notice that the sole design is different than previous pairs. I would give this shoe an overall 4 stars if they didn't squeak so loudly!

Love these shoes, but squeak, squeak, squeak. And these are my second pair. Same problem.

Just purchased. The air chamber sole blew out in 2 days. They squeak terribly. Do not purchase this shoe. Zappos customer service is fantastic and I will continue to be a customer.
