FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The GEL-Excite 11 is designed for neutral or supination runners. If you have severe flat feet requiring arch support, you may find these lacking in stability.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While durable, this model is generally classified as a daily trainer. Long-distance comfort varies by individual, but many users prefer them for shorter to mid-range runs.
How long will the cushioning last?
Generally, running shoe midsoles provide optimal performance for 300 to 500 miles, depending on the surface and your body weight.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the ORTHOLITE insole is removable, which is helpful if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
Are these true to size?
ASICS generally run consistent with standard athletic sizing, but it is recommended to have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels too tight across the top
Try a different lacing technique, such as skipping the eyelet where the pressure occurs, or loosen the laces significantly before inserting your foot.
Moisture buildup inside the shoe
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking athletic socks rather than cotton, and remove the Ortholite insole to air out the shoe between uses.
Material snagging or visible wear on the mesh
Avoid using the trainers for trail running or on surfaces with sharp debris, as the mesh upper is designed primarily for road and gym surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first run, ensure the laces are adjusted to accommodate your foot volume without restricting circulation. Because these are performance trainers, they are best paired with moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks to maximize the benefit of the breathable upper. To clean your ASICS GEL-Excite 11, gently brush away dirt with a soft brush and clean with a mild soap and water mixture. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can break down the adhesives and foam properties. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or intense heat sources.
