This is a very comfortable shoe. I always have to order a size larger with Nikes, but overall it is still a great shoe for an entire day at work.

I am a car salesman and in the fall/winter months we are supposed to wear slacks and dress shoes. I have a bad back and have to wear athletic style shoes. These shoes can be used in many different settings, both athletic and casual. I get away with being comfortable while the other salesmen I work with get those "stuffy" hard dress shoes. I am very happy with these!

Nike also makes a really cool black "hiking" style boot. I might try them for the snowy weather this year.

Product was delivered on time and is as advertised! I doubt these shoes will ever wear out. With a trip through the dishwasher, they clean up very well.

I tried the Nike Air Monarch in black after I couldn\'t find a comfortable New Balance equivalent. The Monarch fits my wide foot well and offers plenty of cushioning for my morning walk/run. I like them so much I\'ve just ordered a pair in white.\r\n\r\nThe “pros” are that it is very comfortable and it offers much more support than a typical running shoe.\r\n\r\nThe “cons” are that it is a little clunky looking, especially compared to the New Balance 620. The Monarch is a bit difficult to wear with, say, a pair of jeans as the top of the shoe is so wide the cuff won\'t fit over it. The Monarch is a bit squeaky, even on concrete.\r\n\r\nOverall, I really like this shoe. My New Balance 620s had the interior fabric wear away at the back of the left heel even though there was plenty of wear left in the shoe itself. I\'m hoping I\'ll get better wear from the Monarch.

My husband bought 2 pairs of these in white, but none of the stores in our area had them in black. The shoes are for a Christmas present, and I am assuming they will be as good as the white ones.\r\nThe order was shipped quickly and was as requested. Thank you for good service.

These are fantastic shoes. Very plump and comfy cushioning. I am very happy with these shoes. Consider ordering a 1/2 size larger because there is such a snug fit.

My son has flat feet and wears an extra wide shoe; impossible to find at local shoe stores. He hasn't been able to wear Nikes before, so I jumped on the chance to pick up these in an extra wide at a fantastic price! They arrived the next day. I love Zappos!

The shoes fit perfect right out of the box. Extremely comfortable. I'm buying another pair as a spare. Love the shoes and the customer service, too. Best internet company, heck, best company customer service I've experienced in a long time.

Great all around work shoe. Sturdy, comfortable and long lasting. Good for the 190# guy who is on his feet all day. A large number of the maintenance / construction staff a UCSC wear this shoe. I buy 2 pairs a year. One for work and one for town / beach.

Use Nike Air Pegasus for jogging.

I was buying the Monarch III Black/White & Varsity Red shoe for a couple years and loved it. I wear the white, too, but it is hard to keep clean compared to the Black/White & Varsity Red. Black/White & Varsity is the best shoe that I have ever had on my feet. Dicks Sporting Goods quit carrying them and I came to Zappos and found the shoe that I thought I would never be able to get again. I had very good and friendly service and received the shoes almost overnight with no shipping!

Finding the right color of the shoe was a problem, however Zappos had the exact color I liked. The shoe is great, very comfortable and has plenty of support! The only complaint I have is the shoe seemed to require more time to break in compared to similar Nike shoes I have had in the past. The service was Spectacular! The sales representative was very helpful, friendly and gave me priority shipping, within 24 hours for free!

I ordered Air Monarchs from Zappos because I could never find my size at any of the local shoe stores. I ordered them using regular shipping and Zappos surprised me by upgrading the shipping for free and the shoes arrived the very next day. I was shocked but I know I will use the company again to find my shoes.\r\nThanks Zappos!

I am on my feet all day. My job requires a lot of standing, walking, and climbing stairs. Theses shoes are amazing! It feels as though my feet are not even hitting the ground. I have not had a pair of Nike Air shoes in a long time. What a treat for my poor tired feet! I plan on buying a second pair to have in reserves.

Best anyone would want in a cross trainer -
The shoe is the most comfortable I've ever had. Cushioning is better than any other Nike I know of. I wouldn't recommend as a running shoe due to the platform, but walking, gym and all else is perfect for it.

I have 3 pairs of Monarch IIIs in use for different purposes. The oldest pair has worn down to yard work duty, the next oldest walks / jogs the dog, and newest pair for causal activities. My favorite shoe. As long as they make them, I'll keep buying them.

These shoes are really comfortable. I have LOTS of athletic shoes and these rank on top of my list. I wear these daily because of the good cushioning and support. For those of us in the blue-collar world in need of a black polishable shoe with great traction, then the Nike Monarch III is the shoe to buy. This is the shoe tailored for the "Industrial Athlete."

UPS Tough!
I have been a UPS driver for 23 years and have a million pairs of shoes. These nikes so far 6 weeks worth have been really good and a few other drivers at work are buying them too. Comfort is good and only downfall so far is they are slick when wet, traction is not good in the rain but hey for the money they are worth it.

Great Shoe -
These shoes are the perfect blend of softness in the insole and support with the upper. I wear them to work because I need a sturdy, comfortable shoe but don't need steel toe. These shoes are also terrific walking shoes. I ended up buying two more pairs as "inventory" for when they wear out and I need to replace them.

Great shoe!
This shoe is the most comfortable sneaker I have found. I am a big guy 6'4" 300lbs. and have to wear wide shoes; 4E or 5E size 13. Zappos carries these sizes and retail stores do not have a good selection in that size. Normally, I have issues with foot fatigue whether it is from working out at the gym or walking. I walk at least a couple miles per day. These shoes are quite comfortable. After I had them for a couple of weeks I accessed the site to order another pair in case they are no longer carried. My feet are happy with this shoe!!!

In the past year and a half I have purchased these shoes for my husband three separate times at Zappos as he is not able to find 12.5 reg width in any store where we live. He works for UPS and is on his feet all day long (8+ hours). These shoes are the only ones that support his feet and stand up to the extreme wear and tear of daily use! Please do not stop carrying these shoes.

Great for Cross Training -
I have tried a number of fitness shoes for spinning, weight training, treadmill and other fitness center equipment. The Air Monarch III provides me the most support and comfort for this 62 year old body. This is my 2nd pair. Will not buy any others.

Lower cost alternative to new balance mw845 in size 15 4E -
I normally wear new balance mw 845 to work every day. I bought the nike's to wear on my day off and to just give me a change. I have had them for about a month so far and they feel good. I don't know if they would hold up as well as the NB shoes for everyday use as I weigh 310lbs and I'm very hard on shoes. However the price is much less and I thought I would give them a try. They appear to have good support much like the rollbar support in the NB. I only wear the New Balance shoes that have the roll bar support; however, these are somewhat pricy. I’m not complaining because they make a great shoe but it’s nice to find a lower price shoe that is comfortable that I can wear for leisure. As for Zappos service OUTSTANDING. Ordered 830 in evening, had them next morning and the shipping was free! Thanks Zappos.

Great Shoe!
Since I got surgery on my feet, I require extra wide - 4E. It’s very hard to find a comfortable extra wide shoe. This shoe is great and very comfortable. Don't forget to order a little bit larger than your size. My size is normally 9.5, but I find this shoe is a bit too small so I exchanged it with size 10 - 4E. Found it’s perfect and gave a plenty of inside room on front of my feet so it won't hurt my feet that was on surgery. I walked all day. No problem. Great to buy!!!
