ASICS Gel-Excite 11 Road Running Shoes - Black - UK 4

Yes, the ASICS Gel-Excite 11 are highly versatile. While designed for road running, their AMPLIFOAM PLUS cushioning and ORTHOLITE sockliner provide excellent comfort, making them ideal for daily walks, gym sessions, and all-day casual wear.

We recommend measuring your foot length and comparing it to the ASICS sizing chart. It's often advisable to try them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen, and ensure there's about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.

Yes, the ASICS Gel-Excite 11 are machine washable. For best results, remove the laces and insoles, place the shoes in a mesh laundry bag, and wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Always air dry them afterwards; do not use a dryer.

The Rearfoot GEL Technology is designed to absorb significant shock during impact phases, particularly when your heel strikes the ground. This helps to smooth out transitions and reduce the overall stress on your joints, contributing to a more comfortable and protected ride.

The Gel-Excite 11 is designed as a neutral running shoe, offering balanced cushioning suitable for individuals with neutral pronation. For specific arch support needs (flat feet or high arches), you may find additional comfort and support by pairing them with custom or over-the-counter orthotic insoles, if needed.

The lifespan of running shoes varies depending on mileage, running style, and surface. Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles (approximately 480-800 km) or when you notice signs of wear in the cushioning or outsole, or if you start experiencing discomfort.

Ensure you've laced them correctly, not too tight. Experiment with different lacing techniques to relieve pressure points. The ORTHOLITE sockliner should offer comfort, but if persistent, consider checking your size or trying a thinner sock.

The engineered jacquard mesh upper is highly breathable. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. If the issue persists, consider airing out the shoes after each use to allow them to fully dry.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the sockliner and the sole. Try removing the ORTHOLITE sockliner, cleaning underneath it, and then reinserting it. If the issue persists, a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the sockliner can help reduce friction.

Ensure you are using a double knot. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones that have more grip. You can also try alternative lacing methods for a more secure hold.
