FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?

The Gel-Excite 11 is designed as a neutral running shoe. If you require specific arch support, you may consider adding custom orthotic insoles.

Can I use these for long-distance marathons?

While durable, these are primarily designed for casual use and short-to-medium length runs. They may not offer the specific energy return required for elite marathon racing.

How should I wash them?

We recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing to preserve the structural integrity of the cushioning.

Are they water-resistant?

No, the breathable upper is designed for ventilation and will allow water to pass through if you step in puddles or run in heavy rain.

Do they run true to size?

Yes, Asics generally follows standard sizing. If you are between sizes or prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider a half-size up.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of decreased cushioning over time

This is normal wear for high-mileage foam. Check if the midsole has compressed significantly; if so, it may be time for a replacement pair.

Outer sole debris accumulation

Use a specialized sneaker brush or a toothpick to gently remove gravel or small stones lodged in the tread patterns to maintain traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent cushioning for impact protection
  • Lightweight construction prevents foot fatigue
  • Breathable material keeps feet comfortable during activity
  • Reliable traction on road surfaces
  • Versatile design suitable for both gym and road

Cons

  • Not specifically designed for trail running
  • Limited suitability for elite-level long-distance racing
  • Style is focused more on utility than high-fashion aesthetics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal longevity of your Gel-Excite 11 trainers, perform a visual inspection of the outsole periodically to check for excessive wear. Since these are standard road trainers, they are compatible with most neutral running socks. For cleaning, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. Instead, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and clean the surface using a damp cloth with mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the cushioning materials.
