User Reviews
Shoes are just like the picture. Shoes purchased for walking exercise. Very comfortable.
Great shoes. Though having to exchange for smaller size
This was a gift and the size was true and fits well. I would buy from seller again. Received in a timely manner. Good price.
I really like these shoes, so much so that I recently purchased 3 more pairs of them. If you have wide feet, the wide width model is very comfortable for us wide-feet folks, and the shoes perform great for court sports, fitness walking and walking in general. The soles are long-lasting, they have good grip on the courts and pavement, and feel like they provide good support for your feet. When new, however, it may take you a few weeks to break in, even though they are not entirely made of leather (leather/synthetic leather combi). I've machine-washed my Monarchs and air-dried them in the backyard and this gets 'em nice and clean, removes any built-up perspiration odor, and look and feel like new again. Really good shoes!
Absolutely love these sneakers, not happy they were just dropped in front of my door and they didn’t ring my doorbell, only reason I knew they were there is because I was immediately emailed
I got these because when i was going on walks with my dog, my feet would be the ones BARKING. I would wear my Crocs or my Adidas but my feet and knees would be hurtin like crazy. I recently moved into the suburbs so ive been doing alot more walking then i used to, so it made sense. I noticed that whenever I would walk, I would see all the suburban Dads walking and I would notice how they didnt look pained at all. They looked unbothered, moisturized, happy, in their lanes, focused and flourishing and I couldnt figure out how/why til i noticed something they all had in common...they were rocking NARCHS. I internally debated purchasing these..."But Anon you arent a middle aged surburban Dad, you're a 30 something year old latino woman, these arent for you" "But Anon they're so ugly though, you would lose ALL street cred". Finally after debating for a few days, I came back from a walk with my dog to my feet throbbing. My crocs rubbed on my feet and created sores on the sides. I had had enough. I ordered my Narchs and eagerly awaited. They came in and i immediately put them on. Instantly my feet felt better. More than better, they felt like they were 17 again. My husband commented on how ugly as all get out they were, but haters often be hating. I'll never wear anything else to walk with as long as I live. I might even mess around and buy another pair idk. Anyways, get these babies.
This shoe fits well and I love the comfort. I have to admit I buy it a little big and love to be able to slip them on without untying the shoe laces.
The only shoe which is comfortable on my husband's feet.
