Customer Reviews Nike Air Monarch IV

This is my fourth pair of red/white/black Air Monarchs-- but I won't be keeping them. I loved the fit of my previous three pair because I need a wide toe box. This pair-- made in Indonesia-- has nice soft leather but my toes are all scrunched. The length is same as my old pairs.

I got these in black for regular everyday use after breaking a toe because the wide fit accommodated me better than other shoes and I needed dark shoes for work. The price was also really good for Nike. I continued to wear them, but they developed the most annoying squeak I've ever had in a shoe. Eventually, the squeak came to both embarrass and bother the hell out of me so I stopped wearing them. Funny thing is, I also got the white version, which is more like a traditional sneaker, and I haven't noticed the squeak. Summary: great for comfort and price, horrible for noise but maybe OK if you stick with the white and not the black.

Could use more padding. Over time begins to squeak alot

I cancelled my order because I wasnt paying attention to the brand. I dont buy Nike products. Period

These are just ok. If you are on a tight budget they work. There are better shoes for wide feet out there if you don't mind paying more. Brooks, New balance are good choices and last way longer than any nike will. SAS is a good brand if you are looking for similar wide construction.

The air pocket in the shoes broke after 2 months.

Nice

I've been buying these shoes for years for the comfort, but after a month they do start squeeking while you walk. It is annoying, but the price I pay until I can find a similar comfortable shoe which is quiet.

I liked the style, and the length seemed true. The width is listed here as 4E -- don't make the mistake I did and assume it will fit your wide foot. 4E is REALLY REALLY WIDE -- much too wide for my fat foot -- so I had to return the sneakers (which was simple with Zappos). I found another tennis sneaker that is 2E which was a much better fit -- but unfortunately not the Air Monarch IV.

Nike’s used to feel so comfortable. I decided to give them another shot and remembered why I upgraded to more expensive/comfortable shoes that have true arch support. These shoes are ok for the value, but I do not recommend for someone with arch support/foot pain issues. Stick to the higher quality.

Didn't work for me. I bought a pair in red/black, 15 4E and they were great. So I ordered the same shoe one in black and one in white. Both of these had a seam that rubbed on my little toe. I thought they would get better as they loosened up. They did not, can't wear either pair, big callus on my toe and severe pain. Not sure why they fit different but the do by a lot,

Was not happy. Shoe was heavy and rubbed against my ankle bone.

Fit/size fine. Glue holding sole on fails prematurely, then I have to buy shoe goo from walmart to repair them. Advice for people when the shoes get noisy. Pull out the inner cushion and put baby powder in the shoe then put the cushion back in. Noise is coming from the glue breaking down between the sole of shoe and inner liner. I read to do this on the internet and it does work.

Should have ordered a size 11-1/2. And, it was not listed as non-skid soles.

Toe box is small. Had to return. Love zappos support team.

Nice shoe. Arch support not adequate. Shoe felt very heavy and awkward.

This shoe has a lot of upper — it's a bigger, heavier shoe, and the uppers are significantly more built than comparable wide shoes.

comfortable sneaks, but wear out quickly. However I will NEVER purchase a Nike product again. I respect my country more than supporting such a disrespectful company.

I wear 4E. It is what my current shoes are. However these felt tight, narrow.

Comfort level is fine but there is minor rubbing on both my pinky toes.

Not bad for the money but they run small.

We love these shoes, they do run a little small and narrow, so at least a half size bigger would be recommended. They are comfortable for long days on your feet, but they are squeaky on certain floor types which can be annoying and sometimes embarrassing.

We were trying to find a pair of Nikes similar to the Air Definition which I’ve worn for several years, but this style Air Monarch IV, while similar in looks, is built with a curved last which is not suitable for flat feet or over pronation, We need a style made with a straighter last like the Air Definition which apparently is no longer available.. I was fortunate to have purchased 4 pairs of Air Definition before they became unavailable.. too bad they have discontinued making it, they are excellent sneakers. Can not wear the Air Monarch because it is too curved and causes pain on flat feet which overpronate.

Wish they had better arch support.
