FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
No, these are designed as road and gym trainers and lack the necessary tread and protective features for uneven trail terrain.
What type of cushioning do they use?
They utilize a combination of Asics GEL technology in the heel and an AmpliFoam+ midsole for soft, responsive shock absorption.
How often should I replace my Gel-Excite 11 trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on usage intensity and surface conditions.
Are these waterproof?
No, they feature a breathable mesh upper that allows air to flow through, which means they are not waterproof.
Do these provide arch support?
The Gel-Excite 11 is designed as a neutral running shoe, providing standard support for runners without specific overpronation requirements.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a long run
Feet naturally swell during exercise; try loosening the laces or ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking running socks.
Outer sole shows premature wear
Check your running gait for heavy heel striking and ensure you are not using the trainers on abrasive surfaces like rocky trails.
Upper material has a stain
Use a damp sponge with a small amount of mild detergent; avoid soaking the shoe or using heavy chemical cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Asics Gel-Excite 11 trainers, proper care is essential:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for short, low-intensity walks before jumping into long-distance runs to allow the midsole to contour to your feet.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt using a soft-bristled brush. Hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing, which can degrade the cushioning materials.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or high heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the materials to shrink or crack.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the foam and fabric.
