FAQs
What does 'Gel cushioning' do?
The Gel cushioning in the heel area is a silicone-based material designed to absorb shock during impact, providing a softer landing and reducing stress on your joints for a more comfortable experience.
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The Gel-Excite 11 is designed for comfort and versatility, making it ideal for relaxed running laps, light training, and everyday wear. For very long distances or competitive races, ASICS offers other models specifically engineered for those demands.
How do I know if these are the right shoes for my foot type?
These are neutral shoes, best for individuals whose feet do not excessively roll inward (pronate) or outward (supinate) during their stride. If you're unsure of your foot type, consult a running specialist or analyze your gait.
Can I use these for trail running?
The robust outsole provides reliable grip on surfaces like 'park trails.' While they can handle light, well-maintained trails, for aggressive or technical trail running, dedicated trail shoes with more aggressive tread and protection would be more suitable.
How often should I replace my ASICS Gel-Excite 11 shoes?
Running shoe lifespan typically depends on mileage, user weight, and running style, usually ranging from 300 to 500 miles (approximately 480-800 km). Pay attention to signs of wear such as reduced cushioning, loss of outsole grip, or new discomfort.
What's the best way to clean my shoes?
For best results, gently brush off loose dirt. Use a mild soap diluted in lukewarm water with a soft cloth or brush for spot cleaning. Always air dry them away from direct heat.
Do I need to break them in?
While the Gel-Excite 11 is comfortable out of the box, it's always a good idea to wear new shoes for shorter periods initially to allow them to conform to your feet and ensure maximum comfort before extended use.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable.
First, ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting your lacing technique; sometimes a looser lacing pattern over the instep can alleviate pressure. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in.
Feet feel hot or sweaty during use.
The breathable mesh upper is designed to ventilate, but ensure you're wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. If the problem persists, check for any obstructions to airflow or consider taking breaks during long sessions.
Reduced grip on surfaces.
Inspect the outsole for wear and tear; significant wear can reduce traction. Ensure the soles are clean of mud or debris that might be hindering grip. If the soles are heavily worn, it might be time to replace the shoes.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent comfort for daily wear and light activities
- Effective shock absorption for joint protection
- Good ventilation keeps feet cool and dry
- Lightweight design for an energetic feel
- Versatile grip suitable for multiple surfaces
- Reliable and stable fit
Cons
- Not specifically designed for runners requiring pronation support
- May not offer extreme durability for intense, high-mileage trail running
- Info needed: Specific waterproofing capabilities
Setup: Simply lace them up! Ensure laces are snug but not overtightened to allow for natural foot movement and prevent pressure points. Try different lacing techniques if you experience discomfort or pressure in specific areas.
Compatibility: These are neutral shoes, meaning they are best suited for individuals with a neutral gait (minimal to no pronation) or those who require minimal arch support. The UK size 14 is designed for larger adult male feet.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, mix a small amount of mild soap with lukewarm water. Use a cloth or soft brush to clean the mesh upper and outsole. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials. Do not put them in a dryer.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the outsole for wear. Worn out soles can reduce grip and cushioning effectiveness. You may insert specific insoles for personalized arch support if needed, provided they fit comfortably within the shoe.
