FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for trail running?
No, the Gel-Excite 10 is designed for road and gym surfaces. The outsole pattern lacks the deep lugs required for off-road trail traction.
Are the materials used in the shoe vegan?
Yes, no materials of animal origin are used in the design, including yarns and glues. Note that it is not third-party certified vegan.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the OrthoLite sockliner is removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Does the shoe provide stability for overpronation?
The Gel-Excite 10 is a neutral shoe. While the Guidance Line helps with consistency, it does not provide heavy stability features for severe overpronation.
How often should I replace these running shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 400 to 600 kilometers, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'lock lacing' technique to secure the heel fit more firmly.
Outer sole debris buildup
Periodically check the Guidance Line groove and clean out small stones or grit to maintain flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Excite 10 trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in: While the OrthoLite sockliner provides immediate comfort, wear the shoes for a few short walks before long-distance runs to allow the mesh to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Clean the surface of the mesh using a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth. Do not machine wash or dry, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive integrity.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the cushioning materials.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the rubber outsole from hardening or discolouring.
