ASICS Gel-Excite 11 Trainers - Blue

It is highly recommended to try the footwear on before purchase or accepting delivery, as the sizing indicated on the box or label might be in US or European sizes, which can differ from the UK size. Measure your child's foot length and compare it to the brand's sizing chart if possible, but try-on is the most reliable method.

No, machine washing is not recommended. Washing can damage the Gel cushioning, synthetic materials, and adhesive components of the shoe. Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and allow them to air dry.

The Gel cushioning is designed to absorb shock effectively during the stride, reducing impact on the wearer's feet and joints. This provides a more comfortable running experience, especially on hard surfaces like roads.

The ASICS Gel-Excite 11 trainers are primarily designed for everyday road running. While they offer good durability and support, they may not be the optimal choice for technical trail running or highly specialized track events.

For the synthetic upper, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently remove dirt and dust. Avoid soaking the material or using abrasive cleaners. Allow it to air dry completely.

These trainers feature a traditional lace-up closure system, which allows for a secure and adjustable fit tailored to the individual wearer's foot shape and preference.

Adjust the laces. For a tighter fit, ensure laces are pulled evenly and tied securely. For a looser fit, untie and re-lace with less tension, paying attention to the fit across the top of the foot and around the heel.

Ensure the correct size has been selected. Check for any wrinkles or bunching inside the shoe. If discomfort persists, consider the type of sock worn, as thicker socks may alter the fit. The shoes are designed for road running; prolonged use on very uneven terrain might lead to discomfort.

The durable outsole is designed for road wear. If excessive wear is noticed very early, check if the shoes are being used predominantly on abrasive surfaces beyond typical road running, or if there is an unusual gait pattern. Ensure the shoes are cleaned regularly to prevent debris from causing premature wear.
