FAQs
What kind of activities are the ASICS Gel-Excite 11 best suited for?
The Gel-Excite 11 is ideal for everyday running, training, leisure activities, and casual wear. Its versatile design and comfort make it suitable for various non-specialized athletic and daily uses.
Is this shoe suitable for runners with flat feet or overpronation?
The Gel-Excite 11 is a neutral running shoe, designed for individuals with a neutral gait. It does not provide specific stability features for overpronation. If you have flat feet or overpronate, you might benefit from a stability shoe.
How should I clean my ASICS Gel-Excite 11 shoes?
It's best to hand wash your shoes. Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to gently clean the surface. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, and always air dry them away from direct heat.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
The general recommendation is to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (approximately 480-800 kilometers) or every 6-12 months, depending on your usage. Look for signs of wear such as flattened cushioning or worn outsoles.
Does the Gel-Excite 11 offer good grip on wet surfaces?
The robust outsole provides reliable grip on a variety of standard surfaces like asphalt and park trails. While it offers good general traction, exercise caution on extremely wet or slippery surfaces as no shoe can guarantee absolute slip prevention.
What is 'GEL cushioning' and how does it benefit me?
ASICS GEL Technology is a silicone-based material strategically placed in the shoe (in the heel for the Gel-Excite 11) to absorb shock during impact. This helps reduce the stress on your joints and provides a softer, more comfortable feel with every step.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel hot or sweaty during runs.
The Gel-Excite 11 features a breathable mesh upper. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. If the issue persists in very hot conditions, try to run during cooler parts of the day.
The shoes feel less cushioned over time.
Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles, after which the cushioning begins to degrade. Consider if you've reached this mileage. Allowing shoes to fully dry and decompress between runs can also help maintain cushioning.
My heel slips when I run.
Ensure your laces are tied securely, utilizing the top eyelets (heel lock lacing) if available. Check that the shoe size is correct and not too large. The secure heel hold feature should minimize this.
I experience discomfort or pain after wearing them for extended periods.
Verify that you are a neutral runner, as this shoe does not offer pronation control. If you have specific foot concerns, consult with a podiatrist or a running specialist. Also, ensure your shoe size is accurate, as ill-fitting shoes can cause discomfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your ASICS Gel-Excite 11 is straightforward. Simply ensure you have selected the correct size (e.g., UK 9 for this specific variant) to guarantee optimal comfort and performance. Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for running or daily activities to confirm the fit. Ensure there's a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Compatibility
This shoe is ideal for neutral runners (those whose feet do not excessively pronate or supinate) and individuals seeking a comfortable, versatile shoe for everyday wear, light training, and leisure activities. It's suitable for various distances on roads, paved paths, and light trails. It's designed for adult male users.
Care
Proper care will extend the life of your Gel-Excite 11:
- Cleaning: Gently remove dirt and mud with a soft brush or cloth. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as these can damage materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can cause materials to shrink or crack.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. You can stuff them with crumpled newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of shoes to allow each pair to fully dry out and for the cushioning to recover between uses.
