FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

The ASICS Gel-Excite 11 is specifically designed for road running, pavements, and indoor track surfaces. While versatile, they are not optimized for rugged or technical trail running.

How do I clean my ASICS Gel-Excite 11 shoes?

These shoes are machine washable. We recommend removing the laces and sockliners, placing the shoes in a mesh laundry bag, and washing them on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Always air dry them completely; do not use a dryer.

What kind of cushioning technology do these shoes use?

The Gel-Excite 11 features AMPLIFOAM PLUS cushioning for a soft and responsive ride, complemented by Rearfoot Gel Technology for enhanced shock absorption.

Are these shoes breathable?

Yes, the shoes utilize an engineered jacquard mesh upper which provides excellent breathability, helping to keep your feet cool and comfortable.

Can I wear these shoes for everyday activities, not just running?

Absolutely. The Gel-Excite 11 is designed for comfort and versatility, making them suitable for daily runs, gym sessions, and comfortable for general all-day wear.

What is the ORTHOLITE sockliner for?

The ORTHOLITE sockliner provides an extra layer of comfort and moisture management, enhancing the overall plush feel inside the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel hot or sweaty during use.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. The engineered jacquard mesh upper is designed for breathability, but cotton socks can retain moisture. Also, ensure the shoes are not laced too tightly, which can restrict airflow.

Cushioning feels less responsive over time.

Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles, after which the cushioning materials degrade. If you've put significant mileage on them, it might be time to consider replacing them. Proper care, like air drying, can help prolong their life.

Laces frequently come undone.

Try using a double knot or exploring alternative lacing techniques like the 'surgeon's knot' or 'heel lock' lacing, which can provide a more secure fit and prevent untying.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Cushioning: AMPLIFOAM PLUS and Rearfoot Gel provide a very comfortable and shock-absorbing experience.
  • High Breathability: The engineered jacquard mesh keeps feet well-ventilated, reducing discomfort from heat and moisture.
  • Versatile Use: Great for daily road runs, gym activities, and comfortable for general all-day wear.
  • Secure Fit: The traditional lace-up design allows for personalized and secure fastening.
  • Added Comfort: ORTHOLITE sockliner enhances the plush feel underfoot.

Cons

  • Road-Specific: Primarily designed for road running, which may not offer optimal performance or durability on technical trails or uneven off-road terrain.
  • Info needed: Specific arch support type (neutral, pronation control) is not detailed, which might be a consideration for some runners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Simply put on the shoes and adjust the laces to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the laces are snug enough to prevent your foot from sliding, but not so tight as to cause pressure points. You can experiment with different lacing patterns if you experience specific pressure points or need more midfoot support.

Compatibility

  • Running Surfaces: Best suited for road running, pavements, and indoor track surfaces. While versatile, they are not specifically designed for rugged trail running.
  • Activities: Ideal for daily runs, light to moderate intensity gym workouts, and everyday casual wear.

Care

  • Cleaning: The ASICS Gel-Excite 11 shoes are machine washable. It's recommended to remove the laces and sockliners (if removable) before washing. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Place them in a mesh laundry bag to protect them during the wash.
  • Drying: Always air dry your shoes. Do not put them in a tumble dryer, as high heat can damage the materials and adhesives. Stuff them with newspaper or paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape while drying.
