Great Price on Nike Air Monarchs

Just wanted to let all of you know that Nike Air Monarchs at Dick's Sporting Goods are on sale right now for $39.99 a pair. And, at the volleyball clinic I went to a few weeks ago they were giving out 20% discount coupons to all of us. I forgot mine, so when I went to pay I told them I was a high school official and forgot my coupon. The lady said, "No problem, we can honor that without the coupon." Think about it -- a very comfortable pair (my personal favorites ) of referee shoes for 32 bucks + tax. Sounds like a winner to me. Thought you might be interested! RR

I bought a couple pairs of the Air Monarchs last season, and I was pretty disappointed with them. I didn't think they were particularly comfortable, but I have pretty wide feet. I didn't really like the way they look, with the wierd designs cut into them. And the upper cracked during my camp last week. I had only worn them a couple times over the summer, and then they cracked during my 4 day camp.

For $32 they might not be bad for knock-around shoes, but I wouldn't buy them again for my HS or college games. JMO

I bough theses Jordan Team Concepts couple months ago. I paide $130 for them and it was money very well spent, I'm only 22, well for a 6 more days, but my feet and knees used to hurt alot, since I got these I feel great. They shine up pretty good too, not quit as good at my patent leathers used to, but they look good.

Since we are on the topic of shoes, I'm going with the New Balance 975 running shoe. I think the majority of the non-black color will be covered up by pants legs.

I've got wide feet also, but they're not very pretty.

I've been using New Balance walking shoes (extremely comfortable, available in widths up to 4E) and Converse has wide widths also if you want mid tops. I picked up a pair at Modell's for $40 (don't know the exact model) - I'm still breaking them in so I can't recommend them yet, but the fit is good. They have the COnverse star and >, so you'll need a Sharpie or the like.

Jimgolf,
MAke sure you are using New Balance Cross Tariners and not walking shoes. I used walkers once, as did many people here on this forum. I was lucky and didn't get a serious injury but I came very close. WALKERS ARE NOT SUFFICIENT IN SUPPORT OR DURABILTY. They are comfortable, and shine up well, but you will very likely end up with heel problems, an achilles injury, or the like. I thought they were fime until I gor a ton of response one time when I mentioned I was going to use another pair. I heard horror story after horro story from guys on thei forum. I would bet the farm that you'll get an almost unanimous concensus not to use walkers on his one. And if you're using a New Balance be sure and get a number 600 level or higher. Anything less will cause you problems.

As for the Converse Star....... how do you have a Converse Star on a New Balance Shoe?
