FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Gel-Excite 11 features a breathable mesh upper designed for ventilation, which means water can penetrate the material.
Can I use these for long-distance marathon training?
These shoes are well-suited for daily mileage and general training, though elite marathoners might seek higher-end performance models for racing.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Typically, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of your usage and the surface type.
Do these shoes come with removable insoles?
Yes, they feature a removable sockliner, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The standard version has a medium fit. If you find them narrow, ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks and consider sizing up by a half size.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of tightness in the midfoot area
Try re-lacing the trainers using a 'window' lacing technique to relieve pressure on the top of the foot.
Accumulation of dust or lint in the mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment on a low setting to gently clear debris.
Slippage at the heel
Utilize the extra eyelet at the top of the shoe to perform a runner's loop, which secures the heel more firmly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Excite 11 trainers, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning the mesh upper. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine.
- Drying: Air-dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can deform the foam and rubber.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping them inside a gym bag for long periods, as trapped moisture can promote odors and degrade materials.
- Compatibility: These are standard trainers intended for paved surfaces and standard gym floors. They are not compatible with cleats or specialist athletic equipment.
