Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Excite 11, proper care is essential:
- Fit: These trainers are designed for a neutral foot strike. Ensure you have a thumbnail's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during exercise.
- Cleaning: Clean the engineered mesh upper using a soft-bristled brush and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the midsole foam technology.
- Air Drying: After wet runs, remove the sockliner and stuff the shoes with newspaper or a dry cloth to absorb moisture. Air dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight.
- Replacement: Replace your running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and intensity, to ensure the cushioning remains effective.
