Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Excite 10 is designed for adult female runners and fitness enthusiasts seeking an all-rounder shoe that balances comfort with durability. Its primary benefit is the enhanced cushioning provided by the AMPLIFOAM PLUS technology and rearfoot GEL, which makes it ideal for both short brisk workouts and long-distance training; however, its soft-cushioning focus may feel less responsive to runners looking for a stiff, speed-focused racing flat.

FAQs
Is the ASICS Gel-Excite 10 suitable for flat feet?
The shoe provides neutral cushioning. While it is comfortable, individuals with severe overpronation or flat feet may require a dedicated stability shoe or custom orthotics.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the foam and structural integrity of the shoe. Use only hand-cleaning methods with mild soap.
How often should I replace these running shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and intensity.
Are these shoes true to size?
ASICS generally fit true to size for standard UK sizing, though we recommend trying them on in the afternoon when your feet are at their largest.
Does this model have a high heel-to-toe drop?
The Gel-Excite series typically features a standard drop designed to support natural gait, making it accessible for most casual and distance runners.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Adjust the lacing pattern to a 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing style to better secure the ankle.
Inner heel wear or discomfort
Ensure that the heel counter is not being folded during entry; use a shoehorn if necessary to preserve the internal structure.
Excessive moisture accumulation
Remove the OrthoLite insole after heavy workouts to allow both the shoe and the insert to dry fully; consider rotating with a second pair of shoes if running daily.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Excite 10, proper care is essential. Upon first use, ensure the laces are snug but not constricting to take full advantage of the internal heel lock. For cleaning, remove the OrthoLite insole and hand wash it separately with mild soap. Use a soft-bristled brush and lukewarm water to remove dirt from the mesh upper and rubber outsole. Never put your running shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as the heat can degrade the foam cushioning and the glue bonding the layers together. Allow the shoes to air-dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
