Nike Men's Air Monarch IV Training Shoes

I have been buying these shoes for many, many years. The last few pair, they started squeaking withing a few weeks of wearing them. Last pair I bought was Mar 17,2026. These started squeaking end of April. Time to move on from the Air Monarch IV. Quality has severely dropped.

I bought these shoes twice because I loved them. After my first pair had a really bad squeak I figured it was time to change them but then when I got my new pair within a month the same horrible squeak came back. I sound like Spongebob from that one episode with the squeaky shoes, if you listen closely enough you'll hear my shoes asking you what would you like to order.

The shoe was a perfect fit, but they have a bad squeak when walking.

I still have the original Nike Air Monarch from 2009 UPC91209905791 and I am very happy and satisfied with this durable product. So with this new Nike Air Monarch IV UPC198739543523 is much improvements; lightweight very comfortable with the black and color is awesome! I love it! and very happy with it like my older Nike Air Monarch. In the near future I will buy again another Nike Air Monarch and I highly recommend it to others!

I bought half size up as recommended (Fits small; we recommend ordering half a size up). On trying them on they were tight all round. But I needed the shoes so I thought I'll keep them and stretch them. Additionally I'd already sent two different pairs back for the same reason. Have to say I'm disappointed and it seems that Nike cannot fulfill my needs any longer. The quality has deteriorated in the last 2-3 years - it's not the old Nike quality and I have shoes purchased 6-7 years ago which prove the point.

Happy to say that I resolved the squeaky shoe problem! The problem is the inner sole. When the sole is glued into place, they use multiple strips of glue when walking the area without glue is squeaking. I removed the sole, takes a little effort. Once the sole is removed I then put some powder inside the shoe, place the sole back in, do not glue it, the squeak is gone!

not comfortable and it squeaks. I noticed this problem with another pair that sent back. I will return them too. Plus, I feel as if it has springs in the heel.

Developed a squeak in the right shoe after about 3 months. Quite annoying to walk around the office which has hard wood flooring. Otherwise quite comfortable and I got the wide variant which is amazing for my feet.
