Nike Men's Air Monarch IV

I wear these comfortable shoes year round. I have a white pair for summer and a black pair for winter. They are reasonably priced and last about five years per pair. My feet are very wide and I like it that these shoes come in extra wide sizes to accommodate them.

These shoes are fantastic in every way.

I have tried every brand of training, walking, and aerobic shoe and I finally found a shoe that can stand up to my active exercise lifestyle. I used to turn my ankle a few times a year with other shoes and my metatarsal would be sore to the touch at least once a month. Since I have been wearing these Air Monarchs, I have not turned an ankle and my metatarsal is never sore. I have recently started using orthotics for my other shoes and they fit perfectly in the Air Monarchs with plenty of toe room. The last in these shoes is very strong and the shoes will retain form anywhere from 6 months to a year, depending on how many classes you take a week. If you workout indoors, the soles will not breakdown. I have pronounced pronation so I tend to wear out shoe soles quickly when I walk a lot, but indoors the first part of the shoe to age is the last and the shoes start to provide less support. The ball area has a round sole support which is good for spinning, turning, and other jazzercize moves.I also tend to wear holes in the toe area. Because these shoes are leather, toe wear is non-existent.I highly recommend these shoes for any type of aerobic exercise.I finally zeroed in on a size comfortable for me that is one size larger than my regular shoe size, primarily because I wear thick socks when I exercise which helps stimulate blood return as I am considered beyond middle age and my feet can swell more often. I would recommend you try shoe sizes before you buy. I order one size up on all Nike gear from experience.

I've been a pharmacy technician for over 25 years (both retail & hospital)....which means I'm on my feet all day long. Nike Air Monarchs ARE THE ONLY SHOES that get the job done for me. Over the years, I tried various other brands (some cheaper, some more expensive)...but none compare to the Air Monarch. They are well worth the money and if you can catch them on sale on Amazon....even better. There is one caveat however -and to some people it may be a deterrent- they have a tendency to squeak rather loudly as you walk. This hasn't happened in ALL the pairs I've owned...but it has happened in a lot of them. Because they are "AIR" Monarchs, there are cushions of air bubbles in the soles. This is what makes them so comfortable. I recommended them to a fellow pharmacy technician and he loved them....but he couldn't handle the squeaks. I went online to see if there was a solution to this problem and found that some people removed the insoles and placed powder in the shoe and re-inserted the insole. I didn't want to go to all of this trouble, so I tried foot powder or baking soda sprinkled throughout the shoes. The powder eventually works its way around and underneath as you walk. In most instances, this solves the problem. Another downside is durability. As noted above, I am on my feet all day and do a lot of walking. I'm lucky if I can get a year's use out of a pair. But for normal use, they are just fine...if you can handle the squeaking!

I've bought this exact make of Nike shoes almost 10 years ago, and the adhesive for the rubber soles finally came loose. So I was happy to find this exact same make of Nike Air Monarch shoes available on Amazon.These shoes are a perfect fit if you are a 9 and 1/2 regular sized foot. They are well cushioned and help absorb shock to my aging knees.I would buy an extra pair but I don't know if the rubber for an extra pair will hold up after another 10 years. So I have to hope they still have this make of shoe available in another decade.

Sharp looking design. Durable.

I’ve been wearing these shoes for many years. They are true to size, very comfortable and very durable. Only one problem has plagued me since finding them. squeaks! I always buy me some Dr Scholls inserts with extra arch supports. Here’s what you need to do for the squeaks. Pull out the inserts, spray a light amount of WD40 onto the inside footbed and put the inserts back in. Squeak should be gone or at least very muted. You’re welcome!

The Air Monarch has been a good shoe for me for a long time -- not perfect, but better than most. I can wear these because they are avail in the 4E width -- most everything else is too tight in the toe compartment. These lace up nicely, provide good support for a low-top shoe, & fit my foot well enough to be fairly comfortable. Unfortunately, like some of the other reviews state, some of these shoes SQUEAK. I have 3 of these latest "IV Versions", & one pair squeaks from the left shoe when I walk. OK, I'll use that one for doing yardwork -- the squirrels won't mind. These shoes are WAAAY overpriced, so I shop them down as best I can. I just hope that the soles do NOT come UNglued long before the shoe has been worn much, like 2 other pairs did a few years ago -- yeah, now they have Adhesives that are programmed to fail after a few years, forcing you to buy another pair -- "Planned Obsolescence".

I got right away and they very comfortable if for comfy fit these are shoes

Los tenis son buenos, están muy padres y se ven de buen material. Lo malo es que están muy grandes y muy anchos. La parte superior del calzado está muy alta y mis pies quedan "nadando" en el zapato. Lo malo que no había en existencia tallas más pequeñas...

Good quality!

Everything was good. I just didn’t like the courier leaving them in the hallway downstairs were anyone cause have taken them you need to work on that what’s worse is that I wasn’t notified of the delivery

Just what I wanted
