FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for high-arched feet?
Yes, the Gel-Excite 11 is designed as a neutral trainer, which typically accommodates a wide range of arch types comfortably.
Can I use these for marathon training?
These are best suited for daily training and shorter to moderate distances. For long-distance marathon racing, you may eventually look for more specialized support features.
Are they water-resistant?
No, the breathable mesh upper is designed for ventilation and will allow water to pass through if you step in a puddle.
How long should these trainers last?
Typically, running shoes retain their optimal cushioning properties for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and individual weight.
Can I replace the insole with custom orthotics?
Yes, the standard sockliner is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Adjust the laces using the runner's loop (heel lock) method to secure the midfoot.
Feeling of heat or discomfort underfoot
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic running socks rather than cotton, which traps heat.
Visible dirt accumulation on the mesh
Use a gentle brush when the mud is dry to flick away debris before using a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Asics Gel-Excite 11 trainers maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe to accommodate natural foot swelling during runs.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush and clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or drying as this can damage the cushioning materials.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the breakdown of the midsole compounds.
- Rotation: If training daily, consider rotating your shoes to allow the foam and cushioning materials time to recover their shape between uses.
