Review on ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ Nike Men's Air Monarch IV (4E) Cross-Training Shoe by Brian Cooper

Revainrating 1 out of 5

A serious design flaw can increase the likelihood of a sports injury.

I know I have unique feet, shoe size 8.5 4E. The shoes I received mostly fit, but the right foot seems to have a very common manufacturing defect that has a slight internal arch to the outside of the shoe that goes too high. This creates a pressure point on the outer surface of the foot and is not too noticeable when walking short distances. However, if I walk any distance, and for me after about half a mile, that pressure starts to cause a repetitive stress injury, and by the end of the first mile my leg is throbbing with pain. doesn't seem isolated from just this shoe. However, manufacturers need to be aware that the bowing of shoes can harm people who buy athletic shoes. They must stand and work, and health safety must always take precedence over fashion. The reason I give this shoe 1 star is because I can't use it for my desired walking purpose as part of my daily exercise routine. It's basically a paperweight with a Swoosh logo.

Pros
  • Best
