FAQs
What kind of foot strike is this shoe best for?
The ASICS Gel-Excite 11 is a neutral running shoe, ideal for runners who have a neutral pronation pattern, meaning their foot does not roll significantly inward or outward after landing.
Can I use these shoes for walking?
Yes, absolutely! The Gel cushioning and comfortable, breathable design make them an excellent choice for everyday walking and leisure wear, providing comfort and support.
How do I clean my Gel-Excite 11 shoes?
We recommend hand washing your shoes with a mild soap and cold water. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently clean the surface. Do not machine wash or use harsh chemicals. Air dry them away from direct heat or sunlight.
What kind of surfaces are these shoes suitable for?
The robust outsole provides reliable grip on various surfaces, including asphalt roads, paved paths, and light park trails. They are versatile for mixed urban and light natural environments.
What is the benefit of the Gel cushioning?
The responsive Gel cushioning in the heel area is designed to absorb impact effectively. This reduces the shock transferred to your joints during each step, leading to greater comfort and joint protection, especially during longer runs.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
While it varies by individual and usage, most running shoes, including the Gel-Excite 11, typically need replacement every 300-500 miles or every 6-12 months, as cushioning and support degrade over time. Pay attention to signs of wear like reduced comfort or outsole degradation.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and use appropriate lacing techniques. Try adjusting the lacing pattern; for a tighter fit, try skipping an eyelet near the ankle; for more room, try a looser criss-cross. Remember that foot swelling can occur during longer runs.
Foot discomfort or rubbing
Check your sock type; moisture-wicking athletic socks can prevent friction. Ensure the shoes are properly broken in. If discomfort persists, consider visiting a running specialist for a gait analysis to confirm neutral support is appropriate for your foot mechanics.
Outsole grip seems reduced
Clean the outsole regularly to remove embedded dirt or debris that can reduce traction. Inspect for excessive wear on the tread, which indicates the shoes may be nearing the end of their lifespan and might need replacement.
Shoes make squeaking noises
This is often caused by moisture between the insole and the shoe's lasting board. Remove the insole, clean both surfaces, and ensure they are completely dry before reinserting. A little baby powder sprinkled under the insole can also help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your ASICS Gel-Excite 11 shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply lace them up to a comfortable, secure fit. It's recommended to wear them for short periods initially to allow your feet to adjust, though the `Gel-Excite` series is known for its immediate comfort.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed as a neutral running shoe. This means they are best suited for runners who have a neutral pronation pattern, where their foot rolls inward by less than 15% after landing. If you overpronate (your foot rolls inward excessively), you might benefit from a stability shoe. The sizing is UK 13 (adult male).
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can degrade materials over time.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, remove the insoles and stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture. Allow them to air dry naturally.
