Customer Reviews Nike Air Monarch IV

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.

Extremely comfortable! I have had several pairs over the years, it always the go to shoe when out gallivanting round. Tried wearing them to work, not good if you work in my field which is truck/travel centers. Extremely slick on wet tiled floors or kitchen areas and slick on truck diesel fueling islands also. And in the hot GA and FL heat they don't breathe well enough to work in. If you're looking for a cheap comfy shoe to beat around in though, these are are definitely it.

As I have wide feet, I like the 4E available. I wish it was available in all colors. The shoes are very comfortable, but develop a very loud squeaking noise with every step on carpet, concrete rock. I would like to continue buying but am very leery of the squeak. Hopefully this issue has been addressed by Nike.

I spend most of my days on my feet and walking, which is why I choose the Nike Air Monarch. I'm not a small guy, so this shoe takes a beating and still provides comfort for the long haul. If you use insoles, put some powder between the insole and the shoe--or you'll squeak a lot. I've been wearing Nike Air Monarchs for five years, and I go through about two pairs a year.

Comfortable shoes. But these like all other Nikes run a size small for me, so I have to order a size larger.

My husband LOVES them. I would not have chosen them - rather clunky-looking, a big fat black sneaker, but at the end of a long day on his feet, he just grins and says, "Wow, I'm glad I bought these!" Style is a 3 or 4 rating, comfort is a 10. They run true to size.

These are well made sneakers. A word of caution, these run very narrow. I bought them for my dad. Ordered a size 9 and they were just too tight around the width of his foot. Sent them back and ordered a 9½. Still too narrow. I ended up ordering different sneakers for him. As always, Zappos' customer service was awesome!

A Nike staple. This shoe is a great value for the money. I've owned several pairs over the years and they seem to be constructed well. Most importantly, it's the only Nike that I know of that has a true D width. Almost all Nikes are too narrow for me. You can take any other Nike in a D width and it is much narrower than this shoe in a D width. As far as Zappos goes...well, they are simply the best!

I needed a walking shoe with a thick, comfortable sole. This one does the job. I originally ordered the "D" width, which is what I usually wear. However, they felt a bit tight; so I replaced them with the "4E." A good shoe at this price point.

These are VERY noisy, squeaking with every step. Otherwise decent and allowed me to walk all over San Francisco for a week which is amazing for my poor old feet!

First, let me say I love these shoes. I have bought this same model of shoes for the past 7+ years. I currently have 3 pairs in my house for varying levels of dirty work. But I will agree with other reviewers that these shoes squeak...a lot. But I have a solution for that. I first tried dusting them inside and out with talcum powder. It helped, but didn't fix the problem, and the squeaks got worse. What finally worked was to carefully peel the liner out of the shoes and then liberally dust with talcum/baby powder. Perfectly silent ever since that day.

I'm on my 7th pair of these. They are good but they do tend to squeak after some time. I will continue to purchase them. I think they are better than New Balance.

Good looking shoe. Cleans up nicely. Comfortable but heavier than anticipated. Used to more of a running shoe style/weight. Love the fact it doesn't have that crappy plastic look Nike has been putting on their shoes the past few years. All leather or canvas.

I bought the shoes for work. Be careful for slippery tiles; it doesn't have too much traction. Comfortable, good support. I work standing on my feet all day so it does a good job with that. Heavy though not for sports.

Most comfortable leather shoe I have ever worn. Wish they would make it look a little bit cool, even if they want to charge more. Drop the pull-up tab and add a red swoosh and you've got a cool and comfortable shoe.

True to size and very durable, wear them daily and last long.

Very comfortable shoe. I do a lot of standing and walking at work. With this shoe, my feet and legs are not as tired at the end of the day. Sturdy but not bulky and heavy.

This is a good shoe. However, this version of the shoe has been changed from prior versions: the shoe is not as high as before and it has much less support. Otherwise, it is a good shoe and full. The Air Monarch is really comfortable.

Very comfortable and fits well on large and wide feet. I have trouble finding shoes that fit because my feet are so wide. While I may admit that the look isn't exactly what I was going for, they fit and do the job of an everyday sneaker.

Guys these are some proper training shoes you can completely relay on. It lacks in style but the comfort level is unbeatable.
