ASICS Gel-Excite 11 - Black - UK 8

The ASICS Gel-Excite 11 are best suited for daily road running, gym sessions including various cardio and light weight training, and comfortable all-day casual wear due to their versatile cushioning and breathability.

These shoes are designed primarily for neutral pronators. If you have significant overpronation or underpronation, you may need to consult with a specialist or consider using custom orthotics for additional support.

These shoes are machine washable. It's recommended to wash them on a delicate cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Always remove the insoles and air dry them thoroughly, away from direct heat or sunlight.

AMPLIFOAM PLUS cushioning provides a soft yet responsive underfoot feel, enhancing comfort and energy return with each stride, making your runs feel smoother and more enjoyable.

Rearfoot Gel Technology is strategically placed in the heel area to absorb significant impact during the heel strike phase of your gait, leading to enhanced shock absorption and smoother transitions as you move.

Yes, the engineered jacquard mesh upper is designed to offer exceptional breathability, promoting airflow to keep your feet cool and comfortable, even during warmer conditions or intense activities.

While versatile, these shoes are optimized for road running. Their outsole pattern may not provide sufficient grip or protection for uneven, rocky, or muddy trail surfaces. For dedicated trail running, a shoe with a more aggressive outsole is recommended.

Check your lacing technique. Ensure laces are evenly tightened and not too constricted. Also, consider the thickness of your socks; thinner socks might provide more room. Ensure you've chosen the correct size.

The engineered jacquard mesh upper provides breathability. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks, and allow shoes to air out completely between uses. If the issue persists, ensure the fit isn't too snug, which can restrict airflow.

Running shoe cushioning naturally degrades with extensive use. While the AMPLIFOAM PLUS and Gel Technology are durable, consistent impact will compress them. Consider replacing your shoes when you notice a significant decrease in comfort and responsiveness, typically after 300-500 miles of running.

Squeaking can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the sole, or moisture inside the shoe. Try removing the ORTHOLITE sockliner, cleaning both the sockliner and the inside of the shoe, and ensuring they are completely dry before reinserting. A sprinkle of baby powder under the insole can sometimes help.
