Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your ASICS Gel-Excite 11 shoes is straightforward:
- Unpack: Remove the shoes from their packaging.
- Lace Up: Insert your feet and adjust the laces to achieve a comfortable, secure fit. Ensure they are snug but not too tight.
- Break-in (Optional): While designed for immediate comfort, some users may prefer a short break-in period with walks before extended runs.
Compatibility
- Running Surfaces: Best suited for road running, paved paths, and treadmills.
- Activities: Ideal for daily training runs, gym workouts, walking, and casual everyday wear.
- Terrain: Not specifically designed for technical trail running or extreme off-road conditions where more aggressive traction is needed.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Gel-Excite 11 shoes:
- Cleaning: The shoes are machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. It is recommended to place them in a mesh laundry bag to protect them.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not use a dryer, as high heat can damage the cushioning materials and adhesives. Allow them to dry completely in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Composition: The shoes are composed of textile and synthetic materials for the upper and lining, with a rubber outer sole. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade these materials.
