Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Excite 10 is designed for adult female runners and fitness enthusiasts seeking a versatile, high-comfort athletic shoe. Its core benefit lies in the combination of Amplifoam Plus cushioning and rearfoot GEL technology, which provides a soft landing and smooth roll-off for both short sprints and long-distance training; however, users should note that its plush design prioritizes comfort over the lightweight, stripped-down speed profiles found in pure racing flats.

FAQs
Is the Gel-Excite 10 suitable for a marathon?
Yes, its cushioned design is well-suited for long-distance training, provided it fits your specific gait requirements.
Are these shoes vegan-friendly?
Yes, no materials of animal origin are applied in the design, including yarns and glues.
Can I use these for HIIT workouts?
The shoe provides enough stability and grip for general fitness and HIIT, though specialized training shoes may offer more lateral support.
How often should I replace these running shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and intensity.
Does the mesh upper provide enough support?
The reinforced jacquard mesh is designed to be supportive while remaining breathable and flexible.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure the heel cup more firmly against your ankle.
Accumulated dirt in the mesh
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge dried mud or debris from the weave of the mesh.
Insole sliding or bunching
Remove the OrthoLite sockliner, clear any debris from the footbed, and ensure it is placed flat before re-inserting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gel-Excite 10 shoes remain in top condition, start by ensuring a proper fit; allow for a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Because the upper is constructed from jacquard mesh, avoid cleaning them in a washing machine, as this can break down adhesives. Instead, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and clean the mesh using a damp cloth with mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the foam from deforming.
