Product Information

Full details

The ASICS Gel-Excite 11 trainers are designed for adult runners and fitness enthusiasts who require a reliable, everyday shoe that balances impact protection with a lightweight feel. By incorporating signature GEL technology into the midsole, these trainers provide effective cushioning for road and city running, making them an excellent choice for daily training sessions. While they offer exceptional comfort and breathability through a mesh upper, potential users should note that these shoes are specifically optimized for road surfaces rather than technical trail terrain.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

While the Gel-Excite 11 provides excellent comfort for daily training, professional-grade racing shoes may be better suited for extreme distance racing.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

Yes, they are versatile enough for treadmill sessions and general gym activities, though they are primarily optimized for forward motion.

How often should I replace them?

It is generally recommended to replace trainers every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.

Are they water-resistant?

No, the breathable mesh upper is designed for ventilation and will allow water to pass through if walking in heavy rain.

Does the Gel-Excite 11 offer arch support?

The shoe provides neutral support, which is suitable for many foot types; however, if you have specific orthotic needs, you may swap the insole.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight after a long run

Feet naturally swell during exercise; try adjusting the laces to provide more room for expansion.

Inner heel wear

Ensure the shoes are fully unlaced before taking them off to prevent friction and damage to the heel counter.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness

If the midsole feels compressed, rotate them with another pair of shoes to allow the GEL technology time to decompress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Excite 11 trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Break-in Period: Wear them for short periods around the house before taking them on longer runs to allow the materials to adapt to your foot.
  2. Cleaning: Remove surface dirt using a soft-bristled brush. Hand wash with a mild detergent and cold water if necessary; avoid the washing machine to protect the integrity of the foam.
  3. Drying: Air dry only in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Never place them in a tumble dryer or near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can warp the foam and damage the mesh.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
