Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or rubbing during runs
Ensure the shoes are properly laced, not too tight or too loose. Check that you are wearing appropriate running socks. If discomfort persists, verify the shoe size and consider breaking them in with shorter walks before longer runs.
Slipping or poor grip on certain surfaces
Inspect the outsole for wear and tear. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud, dirt, or debris that might reduce traction. While the shoe offers versatile grip, extreme wet or uneven surfaces may still pose a challenge.
Feet feel hot or sweaty
The shoe features a ventilated mesh upper designed for breathability. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. If feet still feel excessively hot, ensure shoes are not laced too tightly restricting airflow.
Shoe feels too stiff initially
Like many new shoes, the Gel-Excite 11 may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks or light activities before embarking on longer runs to allow the materials to conform to your foot.

General shoe care tips include:
- Gently wipe dirt from the mesh upper and outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing as this can damage materials.
- Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause materials to degrade.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- If odors develop, remove insoles and air them out. Consider using shoe deodorizers or stuffing shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and odor.
