FAQs
What type of runner is the ASICS Gel-Excite 11 designed for?
This shoe is designed for neutral runners. Neutral runners typically have a normal arch and experience minimal inward rolling of their foot (pronation) during their stride. It provides balanced cushioning without additional motion control.
Can I use the Gel-Excite 11 for trail running?
Yes, the robust outsole provides reliable grip on light park trails and groomed paths. However, for aggressive or highly technical trail running, a specialized trail shoe with more aggressive lugs and reinforced uppers would be more suitable.
How do I clean my ASICS Gel-Excite 11 shoes?
It is best to hand wash them with a soft brush, mild soap, and cold water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals. After cleaning, air dry them completely at room temperature, away from direct heat.
What is 'Gel cushioning'?
ASICS Gel cushioning technology involves strategically placed silicone-based material, typically in the heel, to absorb shock during impact. This helps to reduce the stress on joints and provides a softer, more comfortable feel.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday casual wear?
Absolutely. The ASICS Gel-Excite 11 is designed for comfort and versatility, making it an excellent choice for daily wear, walking, and other leisure activities beyond just running.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
As a neutral running shoe, the Gel-Excite 11 provides standard arch support designed for neutral pronation. If you require specialized arch support due to high or low arches, you may consider using custom orthotics or insoles designed for your specific needs.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Check lacing to avoid overtightening. If discomfort persists, verify that the shoe size is correct for your foot, considering foot swelling during activity. Allow a brief break-in period for the materials to adapt.
Reduced grip on surfaces
Inspect the outsole for mud, dirt, or debris that might be reducing traction and clean it thoroughly. If the tread is significantly worn down, it may be time to replace the shoes, as worn out soles compromise safety and performance.
Foot feels too warm or sweaty
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking athletic socks. The mesh upper is designed for breathability, but proper sock choice is crucial for optimal climate control. Allow shoes to fully air dry between uses.

Care
To ensure the longevity and performance of your ASICS Gel-Excite 11 shoes:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or putting them in a washing machine, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can deform the shoes.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Odor Control: If odors occur, remove the insoles and allow both the shoes and insoles to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda.
- Inspection: Regularly check the outsole for wear and tear. Significant wear can reduce grip and cushioning effectiveness.
