Product Information
Full details
The Asics Gel-Excite 11 trainers are designed for beginners and casual runners who prioritize comfort and flexibility during their daily workouts. Featuring the advanced AmpliFoam+ midsole technology, these shoes deliver a soft, cushioned underfoot experience that excels during short-to-medium distance runs and gym sessions, though they may lack the high-end stability support required for intensive long-distance marathon training.

FAQs
Are these shoes good for wide feet?
The Gel-Excite 11 features a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find them slightly snug and might consider trying a half-size up.
Can I use these for trail running?
These shoes are specifically engineered for road and city surfaces. They may lack the aggressive lug pattern needed for loose or muddy trail conditions.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Typically, you should look to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your weight, running surface, and individual wear patterns.
Do these shoes come with removable insoles?
Yes, the Gel-Excite 11 comes with a removable sockliner, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
Are these suitable for standing all day at work?
Yes, the AmpliFoam+ cushioning provides excellent support for long periods of standing, making them a great choice for casual work environments.
Troubleshooting
Feeling too tight across the midfoot
Adjust the lacing system by loosening the laces near the arch to allow for more volume.
Slipping during runs
Ensure the shoes are laced securely using the final eyelet to lock the heel in place.
Odour buildup
Remove the insoles after use to speed up drying and use a baking soda-based shoe deodorizer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Asics Gel-Excite 11 trainers last as long as possible, follow these maintenance tips:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short periods around the house before taking them on a long run to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after your run. If they become muddy, hand-wash them using mild soap and cold water. Never put these shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as the heat can degrade the midsole foam.
- Air Drying: Always let your shoes air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the foam cushioning and mesh ventilation.
