"I'm on my third pair of Nike Air Monarchs. They are the most comfortable Nike cross-training shoe I've ever owned, regardless of price. I walk outside in them, walk/jog on the treadmill in them, lift, wear them all around town with shorts...They are a do everything shoe that beats everyone else hands down on comfort.


I'm on my third pair not because the shoes are worn out, but rather because after a year+ I just replace them so I've got a clean pair and a not so clean pair for doing yard work, etc.

"This is my first pair of Nikes in more than 15 years. I used to avoid them because of [*] the designs were getting way too urban looking (ghetto) and very expensive. Well, I wore my brothers air monarchs for a game of Tennis. One size too big, but very good for the court. So I went to Dick's and they had them on sale. Tried the right size and fell in love with them. Good price, not too flashy. [*] These are very good shoes for Tennis on a hard court. They actually improved my level of play quite a bit! Would buy again and more than worth the price!"

"I was wounded in the right ankle in Vietnam in 1967. I have spent almost 40 years looking for a shoe that I could wear and my foot not hurt. I found it with this shoe! It is without a doubt the best shoe that I have ever purchased. I buy them every 4 months or so from Dick's Sporting Goods. Good price, excellent shoe..."
