Customer Reviews Nike Air Monarch IV

I bought these for my 12 y old grandson with very wide feet. The fit was great and the toe box area was nice and roomy. I should have shown them to him first because “everybody wears black shoes, Nana”. Returned them for a different pair.

This must be my sixth pair. I don't think you can beat the value. I use them for racquetball and play at least six hours per week. I get a year out of each pair before I notice a slight loss of support and firm fit. When that happens my feet start to slide a bit forward in the toe box and my toes stuffer. That pair then gets retired to casual wear and the pair before that gets donated to the local charity (still in good shape).

These shoes are super comfortable and stylish. Hard to find both for older men. I won't wear them without a insert. I can stand all day in them with no problem. If they start squeaking put foot powder in them and that should do the trick.

These are my go-to shoes for walking, and only Zappos seems to have the grey color. I buy these every 6 months, they are so dependable. Thanks, Zappos!

I have purchased at least two pair of these sneakers every year for the last 10 years. They are the most comfortable sneakers I have ever worn. I have tried others but have always come back to these. Fit is great, comfort is wonderful and the style is no too bold. I would highly recommend these sneakers.

Everything was perfect

Yes they do squeak. Easy cure - carefully peel out the glued bed. Use glue-gone, or not, to remove left behind stickum. Sprinkle liberal quantity of talcum powder over the entire bed. Slip in your new orthotics (custom or off the shelf). Noise nearly gone. After a mile or two jog. Repeat the talcum over any bare spots inside. Long lasting shoes, comfortable and very affordable.

Been wearing this shoe since changeover of IIs to IIIs. Had to jump up one size to 15 4E from normal size 14. Best in Comfort & you can use certain orthotics.

just what I was looking for. solid shoe with added style

After suffering from Plantar Fasciaitis for months, I tried these out since they are literally the ONLY Nike’s with arch support in my size (size 12, 4E wide) that I can wear for basketball. I was wearing Nike running shoes with insoles and they destroyed my feet but after wearing the Air Monarchs with no insoles for a few weeks the pain is almost completely gone!! They are well made and SUPER comfortable, I can feel the support and cushion protecting my foot. I’m now able to run again without suffering from agonizing pain every night when I get home, these shoes have been the cure!!

Really like these Nikes. I wear them at least 6 days a week for all kind of activities. Daily walk 3 to 4 miles. Get a new pair every 3 or 4 months. I find them well worth the price.

Perfect fit and shipping was super fast!

Best damn dad shoes money can buy!

Very comfortable right out of the box. I use these to play tennis in and they actually fit better than New Balance.

Best athletic shoes for the money I've found. And Zappos? Truly outstanding!

My second pair; although my wife thinks they are ugly, I am completely happy!

I have bought several pairs of Nike Air Monarchs because they are the only shoe that my feet feel comfortable in after wearing them at work all day. I've tried some other shoes and they all let me down, but not the Monarchs. Also, I need a wide shoe and these are perfect. Thanks Nike and thanks Zappos for your great customer service!!

These are SQUEAKY shoes. This is the second pair I've had and they both developed squeaks within a few months. After 9 months most any support it may have had (modest) was gone. Yes, very true to size in every way. But lets also agree this is a very FRUMPY STYLE. If you are in love with this style you are over 55.

Drab enough for my generic retail dress code, comfortable while I spend 8 hours walking across tile and concrete, had them about 8-10 months now, if I had to guess (I do), and they are just now starting to develop the squeak y'all are talking about, still in good shape though.

Excellent shoe and an excellent price. This is my third pair. I do a lot of walking for exercise and this is the best walking shoe I've ever owned. I use the black pair for work. Same support as my others (white and white/blue) but the black is of course more acceptable for work.

I have had a problem with this red & black color Monarch squeaking bad in the past so I switched to the green & silver ones with no problem, so I thought I would try these again, so far they have been Great!!

Perfect shoe for school.

We originally purchased this style in black and white, ordered 11.5 which is my husband's usual size in a basic tennis shoe. Both felt small so we returned (thank you Zappos, always a breeze) and purchased the black in a size 12. The fit is perfect. ?

I am a senior and for more than a decade I have been wearing this model of Nike shoes daily for both casual and work. Over the years I have tried numerous other brands and models, but have found no other that comes close to the comfort and fit of the Air Monarchs for my wide flat feet. From my experience I get about 2 years of wearing them for casual and then, when they are not looking their best any more, convert them to wearing for doing handyman and yard work. I still have a pair that I use for lawn mowing, gardening, painting etc. that I first started wearing about 9 years ago. The Air Monarchs would be the "perfect 10" if they were all leather and did not have the annoying squeaking that most of the ones I have bought seem to have. But I can live with the squeak for the comfort and fit these provide me like no others.

These are the most comfortable sneakers ever. Nike Air Monarch is the only sneaker I've found with the arch support in the right place for me and the extra wide width I need. I've been wearing them for years, and keep replacing them as they wear out, they put up with a lot of abuse. The noise can be comical, especially walking down a hotel hallway at 2AM when trying to sneak out for a smoke. But I was awake anyway! A little baby powder and the noise goes away. Nothing to whine about!
