FAQs
What type of runner is the ASICS Gel-Excite 11 designed for?
It is specifically designed for neutral runners. This means it provides cushioning and support for individuals whose feet do not excessively roll inward or outward during their gait cycle.
Can I use these shoes for activities other than running?
While primarily a running shoe, the ASICS Gel-Excite 11 is versatile enough for gym workouts, walking, and general daily wear due to its comfort and lightweight design.
How do I clean my Gel-Excite 11 shoes?
It is recommended to hand wash them with a mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry completely, away from direct heat sources.
What is ASICS GEL technology?
ASICS GEL technology involves strategically placed silicone-based GEL units in the midsole. These units are designed to absorb shock during impact, providing a softer landing and smoother transition.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
Typically, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles or every 6-8 months, depending on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you run on. Pay attention to signs of wear, such as diminished cushioning or tread.
Are the Gel-Excite 11 shoes waterproof?
No, the Gel-Excite 11 features a breathable mesh upper, which is not designed to be waterproof. It allows air circulation to keep your feet cool but will not protect against significant moisture.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or pain during runs
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Verify your pronation type matches a neutral shoe; if you overpronate, this shoe may not provide adequate support. Consult a running specialist for a gait analysis.
Shoe feels too tight or too loose
Re-evaluate your lacing. Experiment with different lacing techniques to customize the fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If issues persist, verify the size.
Excessive shoe odor
After each run, remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air out completely. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use. Ensure shoes are completely dry before storing.
Sole wearing out quickly
Evaluate your running form and the surfaces you run on. Running predominantly on abrasive surfaces can accelerate wear. Ensure proper shoe care, including regular cleaning and appropriate storage.
Slipping or lack of grip
Check the outsole for excessive wear or blockages in the tread pattern. Clean the outsole regularly to remove embedded dirt or debris. Avoid running on extremely wet or icy surfaces if the grip feels insufficient.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup & Fit
- Try On: Wear your typical running socks and try on the shoes. Ensure there's a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
- Lacing: Use a lacing technique that secures your foot without creating pressure points. Experiment with different lacing patterns if you experience discomfort.
- Break-In: While often comfortable out of the box, allow a few short runs to fully break in the shoes before long distances.
Compatibility
- Pronation Type: Best suited for neutral pronators. If you overpronate (your foot rolls inward excessively), you may need a stability shoe.
- Surface: Primarily designed for road running and indoor activities.
- Socks: Pair with moisture-wicking athletic socks for optimal comfort and to prevent blisters.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning:
- Remove excess dirt with a soft brush.
- Hand wash using mild soap and cold water.
- Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents.
- Remove insoles and wash separately if needed.
- Drying:
- Air dry at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like dryers or radiators, as this can damage materials.
- Stuff with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of shoes to extend their lifespan.
