Full details
The ASICS Gel-Excite 11 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking reliable cushioning and breathability for their daily runs and training sessions. The key benefit is the GEL technology, which provides excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on joints. A potential caveat is that while suitable for general training, they may not offer the specialized support required for elite-level competition or extreme terrain.

FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-Excite 11 suitable for marathon running?
While the GEL cushioning provides good shock absorption for daily runs, the Gel-Excite 11 is generally best suited for shorter to medium distances and general training rather than elite marathon performance, which might require more specialized support.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the trainers come with a removable insole, allowing you to easily insert your own custom orthotics for a personalized fit and added support.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Gently clean the mesh upper with a soft brush or damp cloth using mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals. Allow to air dry.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?
The primary benefit of the GEL technology is its superior shock absorption. It cushions the foot upon impact, reducing stress on joints and providing a more comfortable running experience.
Are these trainers good for wide feet?
The standard fit is designed for average foot widths. While the mesh upper offers some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet may find a wider-fit model or a different shoe more comfortable.
How often should I replace my Gel-Excite 11 trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning or support, to prevent injury.
Can these be used for cross-training or gym workouts?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Excite 11 trainers are versatile enough for various gym activities and cross-training due to their stable base and breathable design.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. If the issue persists, the shoe might not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
The GEL cushioning is designed for durability, but its effectiveness can diminish with heavy use. Consider replacing the shoes after extensive mileage, typically between 300-500 miles.
Upper mesh showing signs of wear
Avoid abrasive cleaning methods. Ensure the shoes are not constantly exposed to excessive moisture or rough surfaces. Regular, gentle cleaning can help prolong the life of the mesh.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for general traction. For significantly wet or slippery conditions, exercise caution. Consider specialized footwear if frequent use in such environments is expected.

Care: To maintain the condition of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to clean the exterior. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the materials to degrade.
- Insoles: Remove the insoles regularly and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent odor and material breakdown.
