Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GEL-EXCITE 11 trainers are designed for adult males seeking a versatile and comfortable shoe for running and general fitness activities. Their key benefit lies in enhanced cushioning and a softer feel underfoot, thanks to AMPLIFOAM PLUS technology and GEL technology in the rearfoot. A potential caveat is that while marketed as vegan-friendly, they are not independently certified. These trainers feature a breathable jacquard mesh upper, a supportive midsole, and a removable insole for personalized comfort, making them a solid choice for everyday athletic use.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The GEL-EXCITE 11 are designed for versatile training and daily use. While they offer good cushioning, marathon runners may require shoes with more advanced support and specialized features for extreme distances.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with no pinching or excessive movement.
Can I put these in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and air dry them.
What does 'vegan-friendly' mean for these shoes?
It means that no animal-derived materials were used in the design and manufacturing process, including yarns, glues, or adhesives. However, the product is not independently certified as vegan.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or when the cushioning and support visibly degrade, typically after 6-12 months of regular use.
What is the main difference between AMPLIFOAM PLUS and standard AMPLIFOAM cushioning?
AMPLIFOAM PLUS provides a softer and more comfortable cushioning experience compared to standard AMPLIFOAM.
Can I remove the insole to add my own orthotics?
Yes, the ORTHOLITE sockliner insole is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics for a personalized fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and try lacing them differently. If still too tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if the break-in period is needed.
Feet feel damp after use
Ensure the ORTHOLITE sockliner is properly seated. Remove the insole to allow for faster drying. Consider using moisture-wicking socks.
Reduced cushioning over time
The cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if performance significantly degrades.
Discomfort during impact
Ensure the shoe is the correct size and fit. Check that the GEL technology in the rearfoot is intact. For persistent issues, consult a footwear specialist.
