NikeNike Men's Air Monarch IV Training/Workout Shoes

These are often called "grandpa" shoes because they look a little clunky but they are still the best shoes I have found for exercise classes and basketball in that they are extremely stable through the last and I have not had an ankle turn since I started wearing them yeas ago. The bottoms of my feet are sensitive with minor neuropathy and these shoes fit wonderfully and wrap the foot well. The pivot point is great for people who take a cardio, Jazzercise, Shine, or equivalent class in that it facilitates turns, spins, and rapid direction changes.I do have to get a full size larger in Nike shoes (in all Nike clothes for that matter). After a couple of months of heavy use these Air shoes will start to squeak, often quite loudly, well before they wear out. I simply remove the lining from the shoes and put baby or other talcum powder into the tiny holes under the lining and work it into the holes. This has served me well for years to stop the squeak and it has the additional benefit of freshening up my shoes.I have tried numerous shoe brands over the years and the only shoe that came close to the comfort and stability of this shoe is the Strutter from Adidas, which is no longer made to my knowledge and didn't last as long anyway.One thing Nike could do better is to more firmlyvsecure the sole to the body of the shoe. The glue used by Nike to secure the rubber part of the sole is the first part of the shoe to fail, especially if these shoes get wet regularly from rain or wet grass or even puddles when going to and from your car and the gym classes. I can normally get 6 to 8 months out of the shoes and I have at least 8 one hour classes of various intensity a week (and I do my best to keep the bottoms dry!).For those who wear orthotics, these shoes take them well whether they are heel focused, toe focused, or cover the whole foot. I now wear Goodfeet orthotics and they are quite comfortable in this shoe.

I recently picked up these amazing shoes for my 11-year-old, who is super picky about both style and comfort. I took a chance and chose them without his input—he usually says no to everything! Imagine my excitement when he opened the box and exclaimed, “Mom, I LOVE these!” He couldn’t stop raving about how comfy they are, and his favorite feature? They’re not just easy to slip on, but they also give him a little extra height with thick but soft soals! If you’re on the hunt for a pair that combines style, true to size, comfort, a boost in height, and lets not forget the colors are deep bright and excellent combination,these Nike shoes are an absolute must-have!

I bought the Nike Air Monarch shoes, and they are amazing! Very comfortable, supportive, and perfect for all-day wear. The fit is true to size, and the quality feels great. Definitely recommend for walking, gym, or everyday use!

This model shoe has been around for a long time. Years ago, when the sale price went up to the regular price (33% price increase), I stopped buying them. With the temporary 25% discount, its a good value.They are substantial, have a good tread, and offer cushioning while walking. Years ago, the bright white was the style. Now it stands out. And the black is not discreet either. Wish they offered a medium gray version.

People of a certain age aren't looking to keep up with fashion, we need comfort!Why not have both?These shoes are perfect for the savvy everyman, comfortable, stylish (for us), and the price is a bargain.Thick tongue, as durable as any Nike shoe, easy to keep clean for the weekends.Perfect product!Have a great day!

If your feet are average size consider wide shoes. These are awesome shoes.

I have been buying these Nike Air Monarch IV's [both the white and black version] for as long as they have been out in the market. I love how Very comfortable they are, and can be worn to the gym, hiking and every other casual setting there is. So if you are looking for a nice cushion sole with good arch support, these shoes are for you. They do wear pretty well. It takes me a very long time until I start to rip the leather at the sole, but that is from doing heavy duty yard work, and other extenuating circumstances these shoes would go through. That's what I keep buying them, and will continue to going forward until if/when Nike would discontinue them.

Super stylish and comfortable shoes, my son loves it!True to size, great quality of the product. Highly recommend!
