FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
The Gel-Excite 11 is an excellent daily trainer for building base mileage, though marathoners may prefer more specialized models for race day.
Can I use these for trail running?
These shoes are designed primarily for road and city surfaces. They lack the aggressive lug patterns required for stability on loose or technical trails.
How often should I replace my trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace trainers every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, ASICS standard sizing applies to the Gel-Excite 11. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up by half a size for comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a long run
Feet naturally swell during exercise. Ensure you have properly loosened the laces before starting and consider if the sizing accommodates for this typical expansion.
Visible dirt on mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to knock off dry debris. For deeper stains, dab gently with a mixture of water and gentle laundry detergent; avoid machine washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your Gel-Excite 11 trainers requires proper fit and simple maintenance. Ensure you have the correct size to allow for natural toe splay; as a standard rule, a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe is recommended. For care, keep your trainers out of high-heat environments like tumble dryers or direct radiators, as this can degrade the foam and glue. To clean, remove excess mud or dirt with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap for the mesh upper. Always air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
