Customer Reviews Nike Air Monarch IV

This may be kind of an "old school" shoe - but it is very comfortable. This is my second or third pair.

Do not buy this sneaker! I cannot stress this enough. I bought a pair of these about a month ago from Zappos here, and for a while, these were great. Now, they have developed the infamous "Squeak" problem that others have warned about. Before I bought these, I thought this was just a problem with 1 or 2 people for some reason. But now, after doing a search on the web, it seems this is a well known problem with these Nike shoes, and other Nike Air products. I will be contacting Zappos to see if I can still return these, but my guess is that now that I have worn them for about a month I can no longer return them for a refund. So you have been warned. Do not buy these shoes, unless you like to sound like a clown walking down the hall. Search the web yourself, for "Nike Air Monarch Squeak" and you will get almost 10,000 references. The only solution I've found that people suggest is to rip out the insole, put in some powder or oil and then put the sole back in. If Zappos cannot take mine back, that is what I will have to revert to. Nike should not sell these products until this problem is fixed.

It's my husband's fourth pair of Nike Air Monarchs. They are extremely comfortable to wear all day and work well with jeans. Great for slightly narrow feet as well.

Great shoes, that squeak might get annoying but I'd buy them again.

I am very satisfied with the new Monarch IV. I've been buying Monarch for years and this newest brand is comparable to the past Monarch style.

I have to say, these are by far the best sneakers I have ever owned. These will be my fourth pair. My first in black. I also own the red, black and white design. I currently bought another pair of those with the black pair. Never needs to be broken in. Very comfortable shoe with superior support. Highly recommend this sneaker.

These are conformable, affordable good all around shoes. I use mine for work. I am on my feet all day and the Monarch has lots of cushioning.

Put powder under insole. Should kill squeak, according to what I've read.

I've been buying the Nike Air Monarch for years. I love the way they fit. I have wide feet, but the regular width fits just fine! I always replace the insole with a Spenco insole for arch support. As always, Zappos is the best for service!

Nike makes an excellent shoe at an excellent price. Fits and feels great!

This is my first time buying a pair of sneakers in years and I'm sure glad I found these on line. Have not taken them off yet. Feel great on my feet. And they look nice as well.

This is the only sneaker my husband will wear and Zappos makes it so easy to shop for him! Easy to find and a great price, I order two pair twice a year and he is all set - thanks Zappos!

What an overall great shoe. If you need extra cushioning with support, this is the shoe for you. I wear a dark uniform for work and need all black shoes. This shoe combines style with comfort and durability, all at a much lower price than you would expect (Bonus - they come in wide widths!). As for Zappos, what a great company...expediency with top-notch customer service. Only 2-day standard delivery!

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

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.

Kinda ugly shoes .... lol. But quality and fit are great

These are not the prettiest shoe out there. But the quality and comfort are good.

the inner glued arch support squeaks and is annoying

They squeak when you walk in them.

After a short while the sole separated from the shoe and made a loud squeaking noise when walking. Very annoying.

Nice shoe but I needed a full size larger.

Best shoe and most reliable shoe ive ever bought

I'VE BEEN WEARING AIR MONARCHS FOR OVER 15 YEARS. THEY HAVE ALWAYS RUN TRUE TO WIDTH. I'VE ALWAYS PURCHASED THE ALL WHITE VERSION IN 4E WIDTH (I HAVE FEET LIKE A DUCK) BUT DECIDED TO TRY A DIFFERENT COLOR SCHEME. THIS PAIR FEEL SLIGHTLY NARROWER THAN THE ALL WHIE VERSION. I THINK THEY WILL STRETCH TO FIT COMFORTABLY AS I BRAKE THEM IN.

Great Shoe except the squeaking that the shoe does after a little while.

This is the 3rd pair of these that I've purchased. I particularly like the relatively stiff sole as that assists with some problems I have with my toe joints. This latest pair was listed sized at 4E which was different from the W of my previous pair. Nevertheless, the new pair fits the same as the old.
