FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious running?
The ASICS Gel-Excite 11 is designed for light athletic activities and everyday wear, including short, easy runs or jogs. For serious, high-mileage, or performance-oriented running, more specialized running shoes are recommended.
How do I determine my correct size?
It is recommended to try on the shoes to ensure the best fit. Your toes should have a thumb's width of space from the front of the shoe, and the heel should feel secure without slipping. Foot size can change throughout the day, so try them on later in the afternoon or evening.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
Yes, these shoes are suitable for general gym activities such as treadmill use, light cardio, and low-impact fitness classes. For heavy lifting or highly dynamic movements, you might prefer shoes with more lateral stability.
How often should I replace these sneakers?
The lifespan of sneakers depends on usage frequency, intensity, and care. For regular light use, you might expect them to last 6-12 months. Pay attention to signs of wear on the outsole, upper, and a decrease in cushioning effectiveness.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles in the ASICS Gel-Excite 11 are typically removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics or replace them with other insoles if desired.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
It is generally not recommended to machine wash athletic shoes as it can damage materials, adhesives, and compromise the shoe's structure. Always follow the manual cleaning instructions provided in the guide.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Ensure you have the correct UK size. Adjust laces for a more customized fit. Consider trying them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen.
Feet feel hot or sweaty
Ensure you are wearing breathable socks, preferably athletic-specific socks. The shoe's materials are designed for breathability, but proper sock choice is crucial. Allow shoes to air out after each use.
Squeaking sound while walking
This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the sole. Remove the insole, clean both surfaces, dry thoroughly, and reinsert. If the squeak persists, it might be due to external friction; check the outsole for any debris.
Lack of expected cushioning
While providing good cushioning for light activities, these shoes are not designed for maximum impact absorption. If you require more cushioning for specific needs, consider insoles designed for extra shock absorption or shoes with a higher level of performance cushioning.

Care
- Cleaning:
- Remove loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush).
- Mix a small amount of mild soap (dish soap works) with warm water.
- Dampen a cloth or sponge with the soapy water and gently wipe down the upper. Avoid saturating the material.
- Clean the outsole with a brush to remove embedded dirt.
- Wipe off any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.
- Allow the shoes to air dry at room temperature. Do not use direct heat (e.g., hairdryer, radiator) as this can damage materials.
- Odor Management: For persistent odors, consider using shoe deodorizers or placing dryer sheets inside when not in use.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid crushing or distorting the shoe shape.
- Rotation: If possible, rotate with other shoes to allow them to air out completely and extend their lifespan.
