- Is the Air Monarch IV good for weightlifting?
- Yes for general lifting and allround gym work. The wide base and firm rubber outsole are stable, but the 10 mm drop and cushioning make it less ideal for heavy squats and deadlifts than a flat, hard shoe.
- Does it fit wide feet?
- It is sold in normal and wide widths, and owners with broad feet rate the wide version well. The leather upper is fairly stiff at first, so allow a short break-in.
- Is it waterproof?
- The listing marks it waterproof, but the upper is leather and synthetic with a textile lining, not a Gore-Tex membrane. Treat it as water-resistant rather than fully waterproof.
- How does it compare with the Air Monarch III?
- The IV keeps the same wide, cushioned formula with a leather upper and Air unit. It is a modest update rather than a redesign, so owners of the III gain little by switching.
- Can I use it for running?
- It can handle short jogs, but it is a cross-trainer, not a running shoe. The weight and stiff sole make it a poor choice for regular distance running.
- What sizes are available?
- It comes in US men's sizes from 5.5 to 15, including half sizes, in normal and wide widths.
