FAQs

Are these suitable for trail running?

These trainers are designed primarily for roads and city routes. They may lack the aggressive tread required for technical or loose-surface trails.

How do I ensure the right fit for the Gel-Excite 11?

The UK 6 size is designed as a standard women's fit. Ensure there is enough room for toes to splay comfortably and that the heel remains secure without slipping.

Can I use custom orthotics with these shoes?

Yes, the insoles in the Gel-Excite 11 can be removed to accommodate most standard custom orthotic inserts.

How often should I replace these trainers?

Generally, running trainers should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, or sooner if you notice significant compression in the cushioning or excessive wear on the outsole.

Are these shoes water-resistant?

No, the breathable mesh upper is designed for ventilation and will allow water to pass through if you step in a puddle or run in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight after a long workout

Feet naturally swell during exercise; try loosening the laces mid-workout or ensuring you have sized correctly for activity.

Visible dirt on mesh upper

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the mesh. Avoid soaking the shoes, as this can lead to odors and material degradation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior impact absorption from GEL technology
  • Excellent ventilation provided by the engineered mesh upper
  • Lightweight feel enhances comfort for daily use
  • Reliable traction on city and road surfaces
  • Stylish purple and black aesthetic

Cons

  • Not specifically designed for heavy stability or motion control
  • Limited to road and light path usage
  • Breathable mesh may allow moisture in during heavy rain

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Asics Gel-Excite 11 trainers, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fit: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe to accommodate foot swelling during activity.
  2. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after outdoor sessions. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the GEL unit and adhesives.
  3. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators to maintain the structural integrity of the mesh.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to prevent material breakdown. Remove insoles occasionally to allow them to air out thoroughly.
