FAQs
What type of running are these trainers best suited for?
These ASICS Gel-Excite 11 trainers are best suited for daily runs, light training, and general fitness activities on roads, tracks, or paved surfaces. They offer foundational comfort for regular mileage.
How do I ensure the correct size and fit?
It's recommended to measure your foot and refer to ASICS' size guide. Try them on with the socks you typically run in, and ensure there's about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and cushioning. Please follow the care instructions under the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section for cleaning.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The product information does not specify these trainers as waterproof. The polyester uppers provide some protection but are generally not designed to be fully waterproof.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
Running shoes typically need replacing every 300 to 500 miles, or every 4-6 months, depending on your running frequency, body weight, and running style. Look for signs of wear on the sole and a decrease in cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If the issue persists, verify the shoe size is correct for your foot.
Foot discomfort or rubbing.
Check your socks for seams that might cause friction. Ensure laces are not too tight or too loose. Break in new shoes gradually with shorter runs.
Sole appears worn out prematurely.
Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles. Inspect your gait. Rotate with other running shoes if you run frequently to extend their life.
Shoes develop an odor.
Air out your shoes after every run. Remove insoles to dry separately. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use. Do not machine wash.

- Adjusting Fit: Begin tightening the laces from the forefoot upwards, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit across the instep. Utilize all eyelets for optimal support.
- Knotting: Tie a secure knot, double-knotting if preferred for extra security during runs.

Care Advice
Proper care extends the life of your trainers:
- Cleaning Uppers/Lining: Gently wipe the polyester uppers and lining with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning Soles: Brush off loose dirt from the rubber sole. For stubborn grime, use a stiff brush and water.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the insoles (if possible) and air them out. Shoe deodorizers can also be used.
