FAQs
What kind of runs are these shoes best for?
The ASICS Gel-Excite 11 is best suited for daily training, casual jogs, and treadmill workouts where comfort and general support are desired.
How do I choose the correct size?
It is generally recommended to try on running shoes, as sizes can vary. Often, runners go up a half size from their regular shoe size to accommodate foot swelling during exercise. Ensure a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The product description does not specify waterproofing. Generally, standard running shoes with breathable uppers are not waterproof. They may offer some water resistance against light splashes, but prolonged exposure to wet conditions will likely result in wet feet.
Can I machine wash my ASICS Gel-Excite 11 sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning properties of the shoes. Always clean them by hand as described in the 'Care & Maintenance' section.
How long should these shoes last?
Running shoes typically last between 300 to 500 miles (approximately 480-800 km) or about 4 to 6 months of regular use. Factors like your weight, running style, and running surfaces can affect their lifespan. Replace them when you notice reduced cushioning or significant outsole wear.
Is the 'Gel' technology prominent in this model?
The product name 'Gel-Excite 11' implies the presence of ASICS' GEL technology for cushioning. While the description highlights 'comfort and support,' specific details on the placement or amount of GEL in this particular model are not provided. You can generally expect improved shock absorption due to this feature.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or cause rubbing.
Ensure you're wearing appropriate running socks. Re-tie laces to adjust tightness. Check if the size is correct; running shoes often require a half size up from casual shoes. Consider the break-in period.
Feet feel hot or sweaty during runs.
The shoes feature a breathable upper, but ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking running socks. Avoid cotton socks. If persistent, consider running in cooler conditions or trying a different sock material.
Shoes are slipping on certain surfaces.
Ensure the outsoles are clean and free of debris. Avoid running on extremely wet or slick surfaces not designed for running. If the tread is significantly worn, it may be time to replace your shoes.
Persistent foot or joint pain after running.
While these shoes offer comfort and support, they may not be ideal for all foot types or running mechanics. Ensure your shoes are not worn out. Consult with a running specialist or medical professional if pain persists.

- Wipe off soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.
- Do NOT machine wash or tumble dry.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing with paper to maintain shape.
- When to Replace: Running shoes typically last 300-500 miles (approximately 480-800 km), or 4-6 months, depending on your running style, weight, and surface. Look for signs of wear such as flattened cushioning, worn outsoles, or persistent discomfort.
