Is the Air Monarch IV good for wide feet?

Yes. This version comes in 4E extra-wide, one of the widest fits Nike makes. The leather upper gives some stretch but holds its shape.

Is it good for walking all day?

Yes. The full-length Air-Sole unit and Phylon midsole stay cushioned through long days on pavement or concrete. It is heavier than knit walkers, so it suits steady walking more than speed.

The leather and synthetic upper rubs against itself and hard floors, which causes the squeak owners report. It tends to fade with break-in but often returns on tile.

How does it compare with the Air Monarch III?

The IV keeps the same wide fit and Air cushioning with a slightly updated upper and outsole. Owners of both say the ride feels similar, so buy the IV for the current fit.

Can I use it for tennis?

Yes. The solid rubber outsole and stable leather upper handle casual tennis and gym play. It is a trainer first, so serious court players may want a lighter court shoe.

Does it run true to size?

Most buyers say it fits true to size in the 4E width. A few report receiving the wrong size in the box, so check the label on arrival.
