they just aren't my everyday shoes because they are beat to hell). anyway the first pair didn't fit and they didn't have wide sizes and the guy asked if I wanted to try another pair like I was wearing (nike air monarch), I said hell no, these are the worst shoes I have ever bought. without another word he said "the squeeking?". I said damn right the squeeking! apparently the line of shoes has this problem, so this is my public service message to you, avoid these shoes.

it is a shame cause the shoes are real comfortable, but they don't break in and lose the squeeking. audible and tactile so even when you can't hear them over outdoor noise, you can still feel that they are doing it.

hah. The squeaking. A co-op student coworker bought probably that exact same type of shoe a few years ago. Much fun was made. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 17:05 4
- just did a quick search of "nike air monarch squeak" and there are all sorts of reviews of the problem and some solutions. - dogbert Jun 25, 17:12 3
  - The Monarch went from my favorite shoe to least favorite thanks to a pair that squeaked after a week or so and for no discernible reason. -- nm - TWuG Jun 25, 18:04 2
    - i literally had no idea that "squeak" was a thing -- nm - charlie Jun 25, 18:25 1
      - And it doesn't matter what kind of surface, because it's not the soles that squeak, it's the other materials -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 19:22
if you have a little patience a lot of new shoes sell for less than retail on ebay. go search out a few you like - peglegpete Jun 25, 17:05
thanks, bro -- nm - charlie Jun 25, 17:03
you know what would help with that being a psa? sharing what shoes they are, so squeak-avoidance can happen. :) - -- nm - b. Jun 25, 17:02 7
- and I am dumb. I thought I read it, then didn't see it. durrr. no, really, durrrrr. -- nm - b. Jun 25, 17:03 6
  - It was the lack of capital letters. Yeah, that's it. -- nm - mara Jun 25, 17:17 2
    - isn't my spelling and grammar bad enough without throwing in capital letters to trip me up even more? -- nm - dogbert Jun 25, 17:28
    - ha, I'm comfortable with that. - b. Jun 25, 17:24
  - :P -- nm - dogbert Jun 25, 17:04 2

      - no reason to be. forgeting key information like that is not unusual for me, and if I had, your post would have been the perfect amount of sarcasm -- nm - dogbert Jun 25, 17:15
