Best exercise shoe ever for me!
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.

Nice sneakers at a fair price and well made.
These Nike Men's Air Monarch IV .... shoes are very nice and seem extremely well made. I purchased the same shoe in a 9 and it seemed to be narrow, so I retired those and went for these 9W. These shoes fit fine and should last a long time. They are a good Value for the price are very lightweight and have a deep tread that will prevent Slippage. I highly recommend these shoes / sneakers.

Unexpected Comfort and Durability—Perfect for Long Days and Training!
After weeks of use, the Nike Air Monarch IV Training Shoes have proven themselves as an incredibly reliable choice for both casual wear and intense workouts. What immediately impressed me was the level of cushioning and arch support—you can feel the difference right out of the box, and there’s virtually no break-in period required. The insole and midsoles absorb impact extremely well, making the shoes comfortable even after standing or walking for hours.A standout feature is the sturdy leather upper, which not only provides great durability and support but is also surprisingly easy to clean. The lacing system keeps the shoe secure without putting uncomfortable pressure on the top of my foot. Even under heavy use in the gym and during outdoor walks, the sole maintains its grip and the shoes don’t show premature signs of wear.For wide feet, the fit is fantastic—lots of room in the toe box without feeling loose, which is rare. Despite the support, the shoe doesn’t feel heavy or clunky. The classic design looks good with both workout clothes and casual outfits, making these shoes truly versatile.In my opinion, the Air Monarch IV excels in value for the price. It offers the kind of comfort and reliability found in far more expensive shoes. Whether you need supportive shoes for long days on your feet, regular training, or just a pair that can handle everyday errands, this model delivers.Highly recommended for anyone seeking a durable, comfortable, and stylish everyday trainer!

Excellent shoe
Excellent walking shoe, I have gone through eight pairs of these things and walked over 6000 miles in the last several years with these shoes. Very comfortable and sturdy. They only have one flaw and they have never fixed it, they squeak. It is fixable, check you tube videos.

Great Buy!
Fabulous buy! Husband loves them. Fits a little tight but they will hopefully stretch a little in time. Other than that he says they are comfy. The style is perfect for winter. Color is vibrant. For $60, these are a steal. GREAT shipping

Great shoes
Ordered these for my son in size 13. He needed a wide fitting athletic shoe that is also durable. Nike has always been the best brand for that. They look great and he says they are very comfortable and remarked that they have a nice wide fit.

Excellent and very comfortable Nike tennis shoes. The number matches my size.
Thank you for the fast and on-time delivery. Nike tennis shoes are very comfortable, I like how they fit. In my experience with these tennis models I already had others of the same model with another color and they have turned out to be super good for work and for everyday use. For me they are very comfortable and the size matched my foot.
