Full details
The Asics Gel Excite 11 is a versatile daily trainer designed for adults seeking reliable comfort and performance for their fitness routines. By leveraging AMPLIFOAM PLUS technology and rearfoot GEL cushioning, this shoe provides a softer, shock-attenuating ride that caters to a wide variety of activities; however, potential users should note that its cushioning-heavy profile may feel less responsive for high-speed interval training compared to specialized racing flats.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
They are ideal for daily training and shorter distances, but specialized marathon runners may prefer models with more energy-return-specific foam.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity of the AMPLIFOAM PLUS and the adhesives. Hand cleaning is recommended.
Is the upper material breathable?
Yes, the engineered jacquard mesh is designed to promote airflow and keep the foot comfortable during activity.
Does this shoe contain leather or animal products?
No, the Gel Excite 11 is constructed with vegan-friendly materials.
What is the purpose of the ORTHOLITE sockliner?
It provides additional cushioning and moisture management to help keep your feet dry and comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels tight during exercise
Adjust the lacing tension throughout the eyelets to allow for more volume in the toe box or consider using thinner socks.
Moisture buildup inside the shoe
Ensure the ORTHOLITE sockliner is properly seated and allow the shoes to air dry for 24 hours between heavy usage sessions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Asics Gel Excite 11 trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter durations for the first 3-5 days to allow the midsole to adapt to your gait.
- Cleaning: Hand wash only. Remove the ORTHOLITE sockliner and clean it separately. Use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush to remove dirt from the mesh upper. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as heat can degrade the cushioning foam.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators or intense sunlight, which can cause the materials to stiffen or warp.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup within the foam liners.
