The ASICS Gel-Excite 11 is designed for short to medium length runs and casual use. While they offer excellent comfort, for marathon distances or highly competitive running, you might find more specialized shoes offer better long-term support and performance.
These are neutral running shoes. They are best suited for individuals with neutral pronation, meaning their feet roll inward minimally and efficiently during a run. If you overpronate, you might benefit from a stability shoe.
The robust outsole provides reliable grip on a variety of surfaces, including light park trails and well-maintained gravel paths. However, they are not designed for technical, rocky, or muddy off-road trails where dedicated trail running shoes would offer superior protection and grip.
We recommend cleaning them by hand. Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a mild soap and lukewarm water with a soft cloth or sponge to gently scrub the upper and sole. Avoid machine washing or drying, and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
No, the ASICS Gel-Excite 11 features a breathable mesh upper designed for ventilation, which means they are not waterproof. They will allow water to pass through, keeping your feet cool but not dry in wet conditions.
As a general guideline, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, or approximately every 6-12 months for regular runners. Signs of wear include reduced cushioning, worn-down outsoles, and new discomfort during runs.
ASICS running shoes generally fit true to size. However, foot shape can vary, so it's always recommended to try them on to ensure the best fit, ideally at the end of the day when your feet are slightly larger.
Check your lacing. It might be too tight or too loose. Experiment with different lacing techniques. Ensure you're wearing appropriate running socks. If discomfort persists, verify the shoe size and consider if a wider fit might be needed (if available).
Running shoes typically last between 300-500 miles, or 6-12 months, depending on use. Reduced cushioning is a sign of worn-out midsoles. It may be time to replace your shoes. Also, check if the insoles are worn and consider replacing them with new ones.
Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris. While the outsole offers versatile grip, these shoes are not designed for extremely slippery or technical off-road conditions. Adjust your stride or choose more appropriate footwear for challenging terrains.
