Customer Reviews Nike Air Monarch IV

This is a very good cushioned shoe for my extra-wide feet. I have been buying this model for years, and am very happy with it. The price is reasonable, too.

A great shoe, as described. Zappos has super fast shipping. Can't be any more pleased.

It's was nice to find this wide shoe at Zappos.com It's so difficult to find wide shoes in the stores. I ordered these shoes on a Monday night and had them by noon on Wednesday (with standard shipping). I will order from Zappos again and I tell everyone about my positive experience.

Bought these for a very conservative guy who wants shoes that will support and be comfortable, but without anything decorative or with color on them. These are perfect and I'd definitely buy them again. Price was right and he's happy!

Incredibly comfortable shoe. Well-made in typical Nike fashion.

I got these from my 11 year old nephew for the first day of middle school. This made me the Coolest Aunt ever! He has a very wide foot, like my brother and we have a hard time finding a wide enough shoe. These worked well.

Shoes were perfect. I had already owned a pair and needed a 2nd set. These were by far the least expensive that could be found anywhere on the web. And shipping was done immediately and I had my new pair in a couple of days. Very pleased. Quality website that I like a lot ! First time I ave used you but I will be back for more. Thank you.

Great quality shoe, especially at such an affordable price. They seem bigger and poofier in real life than they do in the picture, but that's how all of these kinds of shoes are nowadays. Good fit though, that's what is most important.

Great shoes with one exception, the laces. Usually this type of shoe comes with extra long laces, these are so short that I had to skip one set of eyes in order to have enough to tie them. Maybe they put the wrong ones in at the factory?

I have been purchasing Nike Air Monarchs for the last 5 years. They're the most comfortable and long lasting cross training shoes I've had. The cushioning from the shoe is superb when participating in physical activity.

Very nice shoes. In my case I always take an 11 in Nike's but I had to get these in an 11.5 so keep that in mind when ordering. I have put on weight, maybe my feet got fatter.

Ordered these for my husband's birthday. Had them within a few days. No shipping charge. He loves the sneaks, says they are the most comfortable sneaks he has ever worn. Has been ordering the Monarch for the last couple years.

Bought these for my husband in a 13EE. He's a diabetic who has a hard time finding comfy shoes plus he stands at work most of the day. He says these shoes are really comfortable and so far seem to be durable. He goes through a pair every 3 months and these are 1 month old and still look really sturdy! Nike quality can't be beat and at this price!

As usual, Zappos came through. The price was the best online anywhere! And they not only them in my peculiar size/width, but I called in the order at 3 p.m. and had them the next morning by 10 a.m! Wow, you can't beat that. And free shipping to boot. The shoes are fabulous and better than another cross trainer I've ever tried. Good job!

First time buyer. I loved the fast free shipping, and a shoe that fits like a glove. Oh did I mention that the price was the best part. I definitely will buy from Zappos again.

These sneakers are great my husband loves the wide width! Best is we ordered on 4th of July around 3pm in the afternoon and received them on the very next day. Service that Zappos provides is the best!

Big footers! Attention! OK, look no further because this is your shoe. True to its size! If you feel like you have the foot of a caveman, like myself so get the wider version and fall in love!

Well made --this is my 2nd pair --the others are wearing out after many walking miles. The toe wrap started to un glue on my old ones(re glued and that fixed it) -very good build other than that. Comfortable after installing thicker insoles.

How to address squeaking: Right up front, when they start to squeak - and they will - just remove the insole and add a good amount of powder. Replace the insole (or replace with a better 3rd party version like Dr. Scholls), and walk around for a bit to work the powder into the interior of the sole. You will be squeak-free for weeks or even months. Repeat whenever the squeaking crops up, and you're golden. I've been wearing Air Monarch IV's as my go-to shoe for at least 12 years. A pair usually lasts around 3-4 years before they wear out or experience separation somewhere between the upper and the sole. They are extremely comfortable, and with a really nice gel insole replacement, they are even more comfortable. I can't recommend them enough, and am just so happy they're still making them after all these years. One other caveat: The shoelaces will wear out within a year or two and need to be replaced. They usually snap while tying at some point, so just be prepared.

Purchased these very basic all black shoes for work. I needed something with a solid toe and they couldn’t contain any mesh due to my line of work. They’re pretty comfortable and offer decent arch support. The only issue I have with these shoes is they are annoyingly noisy. They squeak so bad and make so much noise when you move in them. They are definitely not deserving of the title sneakers. Other than the annoying sounds they make, the shoe is pretty good. The price could be a bit lower on such a basic squeaky shoe as well.

How hard can it possibly be to make a shoe true to size? Apparently beyond the capability of Nike (and others). I’ve always worn 10.5 but these are way too short in length and a bit snug in width. I’ll try size 11 because I’ve always liked these shoes for walking. But really, it just shouldn’t be this difficult to get the right fit. BTW Zappos customer service is excellent.

This is my go-to shoe for work, it has most importantly the cushioning for being on your feet for the entire working day. It also offers the support needed for work. Overall it's a decent shoe, and the price is not ridiculous. What would be nice is some variety to the color scheme, black, white, one color combo with navy, and black, and a nice looking white one with neon yellow outlining on the swoosh (oh but of course that one was not in 4E) big shocker there. But I guess we're reviewing the shoe here, and not the lack of respect that many manufacturers and retailers have when it comes to carrying different width schools.

This is for red, black, and white color. Although they do get noisy after you've been wearing them awhile they are nicely comfortable. I work at a job that I'm on my feet most of the day and these have enough cushioning that my feet never get to hurting on the bottom, as other shoes I've tried didn't do that so well, so I keep buying this kind time after time. They last at most about two years and it'd be nice if they lasted longer is all.

I've purchased this particular shoe for many years. For whatever reason this shoe now appears to be much narrower than years past. I've recently purchased from 2 different stores and had to return on both occasions as the show was not wearable due to the narrowness that impinges the little toe. Extremely uncomfortable and would not recommend purchasing.

The cushioning and build quality seems really good on these shoes, but they are relatively pointed in the toe, even in the size 4E I ordered. I have nearly rectangular feet, and they put undue pressure on my toes. If your feet are narrower, give them a try, but if wide in the toes, check elsewhere. I really liked how they felt in the heel when walking around, but can't wear shoes that blister my toes.
