FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
The Gel Excite 10 is designed for daily fitness and shorter to moderate distance running. While comfortable, professional marathon runners may prefer models with specialized energy-return plates.
Can I use these for trail running?
No, these are road and gym trainers. They lack the aggressive lug patterns and protective rock plates required for safe trail navigation.
How often should I replace them?
Generally, it is recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of your usage and the surface you run on.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the standard sockliner is removable if you need to insert custom orthotics or medical-grade insoles.
Are they true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for adult athletic footwear.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Adjust the laces using the extra eyelet (runner's loop) to secure the ankle collar more firmly.
Build-up of interior moisture
Remove the insoles after particularly intense workouts to allow them to air dry separately from the main shoe body.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel Excite 10 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short intervals initially to allow the foam to conform to your foot arch.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush and clean the exterior using a damp cloth with mild soap. Do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine.
- Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or blow dryers, which can degrade the midsole foam.
- Storage: Store in a dry, ventilated place to prevent moisture buildup and odors.
