Product Information

Full details

The ASICS Gel-Excite 11 trainers are designed for adult males seeking a versatile and comfortable shoe for everyday training and lifestyle wear. Their key benefit lies in the combination of updated AMPLIFOAM for stability and GEL cushioning for joint protection, enhanced by a breathable mesh upper. A potential caveat for some users might be that while durable for everyday use, they are not specialized for high-intensity or professional athletic competitions.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

The Gel-Excite 11 is designed for everyday training and comfort. While they offer good cushioning for shorter runs, they are not specialized for long-distance or marathon running where more advanced support and cushioning systems might be beneficial.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel snug but not tight, and the shoe should not feel constricting across the width of your foot.

Can I wear these with orthotics?

Yes, the trainers typically have a removable sockliner, allowing space for most standard orthotic insoles. However, the fit may vary depending on the size and shape of the orthotic.

What is the main difference from previous Gel-Excite models?

This update features updated AMPLIFOAM for enhanced stability and comfort, alongside a more breathable mesh upper compared to some previous iterations.

How often should I clean my trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, especially if they become visibly dirty or lose their freshness. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended to maintain their appearance and material integrity.

What is the warranty period for these shoes?

Please refer to the retailer's or ASICS' official warranty policy for specific details on the warranty period and coverage, as this can vary by region and purchase conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing thinner socks. The mesh upper has some give, but if the fit is fundamentally incorrect, consider an exchange for a different size.

Reduced cushioning over time

The AMPLIFOAM and GEL cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. For best performance, consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage or wear.

Slipping during activity

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. If the shoes are worn on very slippery surfaces, be cautious. For older shoes, the tread may be worn down, suggesting it's time for a replacement.
