Is the 4E width much wider than the standard Air Monarch IV?

Yes. 4E is Nike's extra-wide fit, adding noticeable room across the forefoot and midfoot compared with the standard width. It suits men who find regular widths pinch at the sides.

Can I use these for running?

They are cross-trainers, not running shoes. The stable, flat outsole and heavier build suit gym work, walking and standing; runners usually want a lighter, more flexible shoe.

How does it compare with the Air Monarch III?

The IV keeps the same formula: leather upper, full-length Air cushioning and a stable rubber outsole. It is an evolution rather than a redesign, so the fit and feel carry over closely.

Does it run true to size?

It generally fits true to length, and the wide version adds volume rather than length. Try your usual Nike size first if you are choosing the 4E.

What is the upper made of?

Leather with synthetic leather overlays. That makes it durable and supportive but less breathable than a mesh trainer.

Is there a heel pull-tab?

Yes, there is a pull-tab at the heel to help get the shoe on.

Our take on the Air Monarch IV Shoes (Extra Wide)

The Air Monarch IV is Nike's long-running men's cross-trainer, here in a 4E extra-wide fit. A full-length Air-Sole unit cushions the whole foot, and leather and synthetic leather overlays give it a sturdy, supportive upper. The rubber outsole is built to stay stable during lateral movement, which suits gym sessions, walking and long days on your feet. Its reputation is as a plain, durable, budget-friendly trainer rather than a light or fast one; the extra-wide build is the reason to pick it over slimmer rivals.
