FAQs

How do I determine the correct size for my ASICS Gel-Excite 11?

It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the ASICS sizing chart. Consider trying them on towards the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen, and ensure there's a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.

Are these shoes suitable for walking as well as running?

Yes, the ASICS Gel-Excite 11 is designed to provide comfortable cushioning that makes it well-suited for both walking and daily casual wear in addition to running.

What does 'neutral running shoe' mean?

A neutral running shoe is designed for individuals whose feet do not excessively roll inward or outward (pronate) during their gait cycle. They offer balanced cushioning without additional stability features.

How often should I replace my ASICS Gel-Excite 11 running shoes?

The general recommendation for running shoes is to replace them every 300 to 500 miles (approximately 480 to 800 kilometers) or every 6-12 months, depending on your running style, weight, and terrain.

Can I machine wash my ASICS Gel-Excite 11 shoes?

No, it is strongly advised against machine washing your running shoes as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning properties. Always follow the manual cleaning and drying instructions.

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

While the Gel-Excite 11 offers comfortable cushioning suitable for daily training and many distances, some runners might prefer a shoe with more advanced cushioning or responsiveness for marathon distances, depending on their individual needs and preferences. It is primarily designed as an entry-level to mid-range daily trainer.

Troubleshooting

Experiencing discomfort or blisters during runs.

Ensure your shoes are properly sized and laced. Experiment with different lacing techniques for a better fit. Wear moisture-wicking running socks, and allow for a short break-in period if the shoes are new.

Shoes feel less cushioned or responsive over time.

Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles depending on use and runner's weight. If you've reached this range, it might be time to replace them. Ensure proper drying and storage to maintain material integrity.

Squeaking sound coming from the shoes.

Check if the shoes are thoroughly dry, as moisture can cause squeaking. Remove the insole and clean any debris that might be trapped underneath. If persistent, it might indicate a minor manufacturing variation.

Pros & Cons\n\n### Pros\n- Comfortable Cushioning: Benefits from ASICS GEL technology for effective shock absorption.\n- Breathable Construction: Mesh upper promotes airflow, reducing heat and moisture buildup.\n- Versatile for Everyday Use: Well-suited for a range of activities including daily runs, gym workouts, and casual walking.\n- Neutral Support: Ideal for runners who do not require significant motion control.\n\n### Cons\n- Limited Advanced Features: May lack some of the specialized performance technologies found in higher-tier ASICS models.\n- Not for Aggressive Terrain: Primarily designed for road and track surfaces, less suited for rugged trails.\n- Specific Foot Type: Best serves neutral pronators; individuals with overpronation may need a more supportive shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care\n\n### Setup\n1. Lacing: Ensure you lace your Gel-Excite 11 shoes for a secure yet comfortable fit. Avoid tying them too tightly to prevent pressure points, or too loosely, which can lead to instability.\n2. Initial Wear: For optimal comfort, consider wearing your new shoes for shorter periods initially (e.g., walks or short runs) to allow them to adapt to your foot shape before undertaking longer distances.\n\n### Compatibility\n- Foot Type: These shoes are specifically designed for neutral runners. If your foot tends to roll inward excessively (overpronation), you might find shoes with dedicated stability features more beneficial.\n- Intended Use: Best suited for road running, track workouts, and general fitness activities. They are not recommended for technical trail running or sports that require extensive lateral movement due to their neutral design.\n\n### Care\n- Cleaning: \n 1. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) or a damp cloth to remove loose dirt and debris from the upper and outsole.\n 2. Prepare a mild soap solution (e.g., a small amount of dish soap mixed with water).\n 3. Gently wipe down the shoe's exterior with a cloth or sponge dampened with the soapy water.\n 4. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth, ensuring no soap residue remains.\n 5. Avoid machine washing and harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the materials and adhesives.\n- Drying: \n 1. If the shoes are very wet, remove the insoles and laces and allow them to air dry separately.\n 2. Stuff the shoes with crumpled newspaper or paper towels to absorb internal moisture and help maintain their shape. Replace the paper as it becomes damp.\n 3. Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) to prevent material warping or degradation.\n- Storage: Store your ASICS Gel-Excite 11 shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use. Proper storage helps preserve the integrity of the cushioning and upper materials.
