FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

No, the ASICS Gel-Excite 11 Road Running Shoes are specifically designed and optimized for road running on paved surfaces, as well as for gym sessions and general all-day wear. For trail running, specialized footwear with enhanced grip and stability is recommended.

How do I clean my ASICS Gel-Excite 11 shoes?

These 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. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat; do not use a tumble dryer.

What kind of cushioning technology do these shoes have?

The ASICS Gel-Excite 11 features AMPLIFOAM PLUS cushioning in the midsole, which provides a soft and comfortable ride with a higher stack height. It also incorporates Rearfoot Gel Technology for enhanced shock absorption.

Are these shoes breathable?

Yes, the shoes are designed with an engineered jacquard mesh upper, which provides exceptional breathability to help keep your feet cool and comfortable during various activities.

What is the ORTHOLITE sockliner for?

The ORTHOLITE sockliner is included for added underfoot comfort and helps with moisture management, contributing to a more pleasant wearing experience.

Can I wear these shoes all day, even when not exercising?

Absolutely. The ASICS Gel-Excite 11's comfortable design, superior cushioning, and breathable upper make them ideal for all-day wear, whether you're running errands, walking, or simply need comfortable footwear for extended periods.

Are these shoes suitable for neutral runners?

Yes, the ASICS Gel-Excite 11 is designed for neutral runners, providing balanced cushioning and support without specific motion control features for pronation or supination.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Check your lacing technique; try loosening the laces, especially around the forefoot. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for running, as thicker socks can affect fit. Consider trying the next half size if discomfort persists, or consult a professional for a gait analysis.

Feet feel excessively hot or sweaty during use.

While the engineered jacquard mesh provides breathability, ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. Check if the shoes are worn with socks that are too thick or made of non-breathable materials. Ensure the mesh upper is free from dirt or debris that might impede airflow.

Cushioning feels less responsive over time.

Running shoes have a lifespan typically measured in mileage (e.g., 300-500 miles). If the cushioning feels compressed or less springy, it may be time to replace your shoes. Environmental factors and individual running styles can affect cushioning longevity.

Unusual squeaking noise when walking or running.

This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the sole. Try removing the ORTHOLITE sockliner, drying both the inside of the shoe and the sockliner thoroughly, and then reinserting it. If the noise persists, check for any debris lodged in the outsole grooves.

Laces frequently come undone during activity.

Ensure you are using a secure knotting technique, such as a double knot or a surgeon's knot. The material of the laces can also affect this; ensure they are clean and free from any slick residues.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior Cushioning: AMPLIFOAM PLUS and Rearfoot Gel provide a very soft and comfortable experience.
  • Excellent Breathability: Engineered jacquard mesh upper keeps feet well-ventilated.
  • Versatile Use: Ideal for everyday running, gym activities, and comfortable all-day wear.
  • Secure and Comfortable Fit: Lace-up design paired with ORTHOLITE sockliner ensures a snug and pleasant feel.
  • Machine Washable: Simplifies maintenance and cleaning.

Cons

  • Road Optimized: Primarily designed for road running, may not offer optimal grip or stability for off-road or technical trail use.
  • Info needed: [specific weight of the shoe, as some users prefer lighter options for speed work].

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  • Lacing: The shoes feature a traditional lace-up design. Ensure laces are securely tied but not overly tight to allow for natural foot movement and blood circulation. Adjust tightness for optimal comfort and security before each use.
  • Initial Fit: When first worn, ensure your toes have enough room to wiggle (about a thumb's width from the longest toe to the end of the shoe) and that your heel feels secure without slipping.

Compatibility

  • Running Surfaces: Best suited for asphalt, concrete, and other paved road surfaces. Also performs well on treadmills and indoor gym floors.
  • Activities: Ideal for neutral runners, daily training, fitness walks, gym sessions, and general casual wear.
  • Foot Type: Designed for a neutral running gait. For individuals with significant pronation or supination, additional orthotics or stability features may be required, though not inherent to this model.

Care Instructions

  • Cleaning: The ASICS Gel-Excite 11 is machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. It's recommended to place shoes in a mesh laundry bag to protect them during washing.
  • Drying: DO NOT tumble dry. Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
  • Maintenance: Remove insoles and laces before washing if desired. Regularly clean off dirt and debris with a soft brush or cloth to maintain material integrity and breathability. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
