Nike Men's Air Monarch IV Cross Trainer

Perfect and came on time

Fitted perfectly on me was good for basketball running and walking would buy this for my kids in the future when they do sports

Very comfortable and not very expensive!

My Second Pair /Love Them!

I have been hoping Nike would make my size (9w) and these came up, so I ordered them. Paid a little over $200 which was higher than retail but I didn’t care since I liked the style and was super pumped about the size. WELL. They arrived and are brand new and look great but they aren’t wide, as they were advertised. I bought them for a trip, and didn’t have time to send them back or find a comparable pair of shoes before we left. I squeezed my wide feet in and they aren’t terrible, but not the most comfortable either (due to my wide feet- which was why I paid more than normal price thinking I was getting a wide shoe). If you love the style and don’t need a wide, they are nice shoes. More expensive than off the shelf. Would have been worth it for sure if they had been wide. I’m keeping them hoping that they’ll stretch out. Sigh. Sad they weren’t what I thought I was buying- but all my research says that these don’t come in wide widths… so I guess it’s my fault for believing what was posted. The toe box is roomy, thankfully, so there was enough toe room- but as a person with double or triple e width, the shoes squeezed the widest part of my foot bones and we’re not pleasant for walking all day.

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.

Muy buen producto.

These are my second pair of Nike's trail jogging shoes. I'm a group fitness instructor. I use them for my dance fitness and barre-like fitness training. The rubber grib helps keep my feet safely planted on slippery gym floors. I have weak muscles to support my ACL's so the extra grip help reassure the hold and allow me to continue confidently in my workouts, despite gym floors that have dust or dirt that make them a but more slippery. My ortho doc hates Nikes but loves these. They are his only exception! Also, I love how they don't take several wears before breaking in. First time on felt just as comfy as my older pair worn hundreds of times over the past year. I'll save my old ones for hiking in Oregon and Washington state this fall and keep my new ones clean for my fitness classes.
