FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for a marathon?
The Gel-Excite 11 is excellent for daily training; however, marathon suitability depends on your personal arch support needs and mileage experience.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and structural foam. Always hand-clean using a damp cloth and mild soap.
Do these provide arch support?
These are built on a neutral platform, making them ideal for runners with a normal arch who do not require significant motion control.
What is the best way to dry them if they get wet?
Remove the sockliner and stuff the interior with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture, then leave them in a dry, shaded area.
Is the sizing true to standard UK sizes?
Yes, the Asics Gel-Excite 11 generally follows standard UK athletic sizing, though it is always recommended to allow for a thumb-width of space in the toe box.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long runs
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly across the bridge of the foot, which can impede circulation.
Outer sole picking up small debris
Regularly inspect the outsole treads after use and clear away stuck pebbles or stones to maintain optimal traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Asics Gel-Excite 11 trainers, follow these standard care practices:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for shorter walks before attempting long-distance runs to allow the midsole foam to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush and clean the outsole with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the cushioning components.
- Rotation: If training daily, consider rotating with another pair of shoes to allow the foam to fully decompress between sessions.
