Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Ensure you have the correct UK size 5.5. Re-lace the shoes, adjusting tension. Try different lacing techniques to customize the fit around your midfoot and arch. Wear them with your usual athletic socks.
Experiencing discomfort during runs
Verify the shoe size is correct. Check for any debris inside the shoe. Ensure your running form is good. If discomfort persists, consider if these shoes are the best fit for your specific foot type and running gait (e.g., pronation).
Squeaking sound while walking/running
This can sometimes be caused by the insole rubbing against the bottom of the shoe. Remove the insole, sprinkle a small amount of baby powder underneath, then reinsert. Also, check if the outsole is rubbing against a wet surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & First Use
Upon receiving your ASICS Gel-Excite 11 shoes, simply unbox them and try them on to confirm the fit. Ensure there is about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe for optimal comfort and to prevent toe impact during activity. Lace them securely but not too tightly to allow for natural foot movement.

Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean your shoes, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and cold water solution with a cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause materials to warp or crack. You can stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Keep them away from extreme temperatures and humidity to prolong their lifespan.
- Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating your Gel-Excite 11 with other running shoes to allow them to fully dry out and recover between uses, extending their overall durability.
