Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Excite 10 is designed for adult female runners and fitness enthusiasts seeking a versatile, well-cushioned shoe for both short sprints and long-distance training. Its standout benefit is the enhanced underfoot comfort provided by the AMPLIFOAM PLUS technology and rearfoot GEL cushioning, though the shoe's focus on maximal comfort may result in a slightly less responsive feel for those who prioritize aggressive speed training over general training durability.

FAQs
Is the ASICS Gel-Excite 10 suitable for flat feet?
The shoe provides neutral cushioning and guidance features that accommodate a wide range of foot types, though those with severe overpronation might require dedicated stability models.
Can these be used for activities other than running?
Yes, they are highly effective for gym workouts, walking, and general fitness routines due to their cushioning and flexibility.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Generally, running shoes like the Gel-Excite 10 should be replaced every 300–500 miles, depending on your weight, running style, and the surfaces you use.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the OrthoLite insole is removable, which allows you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Most users find that ASICS trainers run true to size; however, because feet swell during runs, it is often recommended to choose a size that allows for slight room in the toe box.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure your foot more firmly against the back of the shoe.
Accumulated dirt on the mesh
Do not put these shoes in a washing machine. Gently brush the mesh when dry or wipe with a damp cloth; moisture-heavy cleaning can degrade the foam integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Excite 10s maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter walking sessions for the first two days to allow the upper mesh to adapt to your foot shape.
- Sizing: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the front of the toe box to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use lukewarm water and mild soap to spot clean, and always air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heaters, which can compromise the foam and adhesives.
- Insole Care: If the OrthoLite insole becomes damp after a heavy workout, remove it from the shoe to air dry independently to prevent odor buildup.
