FAQs
Who are the ASICS Gel Excite 10 Running Shoes designed for?
These shoes are specifically designed for young, active individuals (Grade School age) with a neutral pronation. They are suitable for various running activities, from short sprints to longer distances.
What does 'neutral pronation' mean, and why is it important?
Neutral pronation refers to the natural inward roll of your foot as it strikes the ground, distributing impact evenly. These shoes are designed to support this natural motion, providing optimal cushioning and stability for individuals with this foot type.
How does the Gel technology benefit runners?
The signature Gel technology in the rearfoot and midfoot of the ASICS Gel Excite 10 absorbs shock effectively upon impact. This helps to reduce stress on the joints and provides a smoother, more comfortable running experience, allowing for greater endurance.
Can these shoes be used for activities other than running?
Yes, while optimized for running, their comfortable cushioning, breathable design, and durable construction make them excellent for general active daily wear, playground activities, and other sports for active children.
How should I clean my ASICS Gel Excite 10 shoes?
Gently wipe the mesh upper and rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. The EVA sockliner can be removed and aired out separately. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What is the lifespan of these shoes?
The lifespan depends on usage frequency and intensity. Thanks to the durable rubber outsole and seamless toe stitching, these shoes are built for longevity under typical active use. Regular inspection for wear and tear is recommended.
Are these shoes suitable for all types of feet?
No, these shoes are specifically engineered for individuals with neutral pronation. If a user has significant overpronation (foot rolls inward excessively) or supination (foot rolls outward excessively), they may require shoes with different support features.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Check your lacing. Ensure laces are evenly tightened and not too restrictive or too loose. Also, confirm you are wearing appropriate socks for the fit.
Foot discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the shoe size is correct. Check for proper sock type (moisture-wicking, seamless). Break in new shoes gradually during shorter activities.
Shoes developing odor
Remove the EVA sockliner after use and allow both the sockliner and shoes to air dry in a well-ventilated area. Consider using shoe deodorizers or odor-absorbing inserts.
Outsole wearing down quickly
While durable, regular assessment of wear is important. Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose. If wear is very uneven, it might indicate a need to review running form or consider specialized inserts.
Lack of expected cushioning
Ensure the EVA sockliner is properly inserted. Over time, cushioning can compress; however, for new shoes, check the fit and ensure it's not too tight, which can restrict the cushioning's effectiveness.

Care Instructions
Proper care can extend the lifespan and maintain the performance of your ASICS Gel Excite 10 shoes.
- Cleaning:
- Surface Cleaning: Gently wipe down the mesh upper and rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary).
- Sockliner Care: The EVA sockliner can often be removed and aired out separately to prevent odor buildup.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and construction.
- Drying: After use, especially if damp, remove the sockliner and allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
