ASICS Gel-Excite 11 - Black, UK 5

This shoe is a neutral running shoe, ideal for runners who have a neutral gait and do not require extra support for overpronation or supination. It's built for comfort and versatility in daily activities and relaxed running.

The Gel-Excite 11 is designed for comfort and versatility, suitable for training, leisure, and relaxed running laps. While they offer good cushioning, for very long distances or competitive racing, you might consider shoes specifically engineered for those demands.

We recommend gently wiping the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Use a brush for the outsole to remove dirt. Always air dry your shoes completely, away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing.

As a neutral shoe, the Gel-Excite 11 provides standard, balanced arch support. It's not designed with specific motion control or enhanced arch support for individuals with significant pronation issues. If you require specialized arch support, you may need to use custom orthotics or look for stability shoes.

The robust outsole is designed to provide reliable grip on a variety of surfaces, including asphalt paths and park trails. Its versatile traction makes it suitable for both urban and light natural environments.

ASICS generally strives for consistent sizing. We recommend checking your usual ASICS size or measuring your foot and consulting the brand's sizing chart. Always ensure a thumb's width of space at the toe and a secure heel fit when trying them on.

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try different lacing techniques to relieve pressure points. Wear moisture-wicking running socks, not cotton, to prevent friction and moisture build-up. Allow for a break-in period for new shoes.

Clean the outsole regularly to remove embedded dirt, small stones, or mud that can reduce traction. Check for excessive wear on the tread, which may indicate it's time for new shoes.

Remove the insoles after each wear and allow them and the shoes to air out completely. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or insert cedar shoe trees. Ensure shoes are completely dry before storing.

For light dirt, wipe with a damp cloth immediately. For tougher stains, use a soft brush and a small amount of mild soap diluted in water. Avoid machine washing, which can damage the shoe's structure and materials.
