FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

The ASICS Gel-Excite 11 is designed for beginners and casual runners, and is optimized for short to medium length runs. While comfortable, it may not offer the same level of support or specific features found in shoes built for extensive long-distance training.

What type of runner are these shoes for?

These are neutral running shoes, best suited for runners who have a neutral gait, meaning their foot rolls inward only slightly or not at all during their stride. They are ideal for beginners and casual runners.

How do I clean my ASICS Gel-Excite 11 Road Running Shoes?

For detailed and specific care instructions, please refer to the product label that came with your shoes. Generally, it's recommended to spot clean with mild soap and water and allow them to air dry.

Can I use these shoes for gym workouts or cross-training?

Yes, the flexible and comfortable design makes them suitable for various gym sessions and light cross-training activities, in addition to running.

What makes these shoes comfortable?

Comfort comes from a combination of features: AmpliFoam+ midsoles for soft underfoot feel, Gel cushioning in the heel for shock absorption, and a breathable mesh upper that keeps your feet cool and dry.

What surfaces are these shoes best for?

The robust outsole provides reliable grip on a variety of common running surfaces, including asphalt paths and park trails.

Do these shoes offer good support?

Yes, they feature a secure heel hold that ensures stability and a snug fit, contributing to overall support during your run.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel uncomfortable or too tight/loose.

Ensure you have the correct size; ASICS often recommends going up half a size in running shoes compared to casual shoes. Experiment with different lacing techniques to adjust fit around the midfoot and heel. Allow a short break-in period for the shoes to adapt to your foot shape.

Feet feel hot or sweaty during runs.

The shoes feature a ventilated mesh upper to promote airflow. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking running socks, as cotton socks can trap moisture. Check if your laces are too tight, restricting circulation.

Lack of grip on certain surfaces.

While the robust outsole offers reliable grip on asphalt and park trails, ensure the surfaces you are running on are suitable for road running shoes. Extreme wet conditions or technical trails may require shoes with more aggressive tread patterns. Regularly inspect the outsole for wear and tear.

Experiencing minor joint discomfort during or after runs.

The Gel-Excite 11 provides excellent cushioning for neutral runners on short to medium runs. If discomfort persists, ensure these shoes are appropriate for your running gait and typical distances. Consult a running specialist or medical professional for persistent issues, as a different shoe type or gait analysis might be needed.

Setup

Simply slide your foot into the ASICS Gel-Excite 11 and adjust the laces for a snug, comfortable fit. Ensure your heel is securely seated in the shoe's heel cup for optimal stability. Break-in period is typically minimal due to the flexible design, but wear them for shorter periods initially to allow them to conform to your feet.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for adult male runners with a neutral gait. They are available in various UK sizes, including this specific UK 9.5 variant. The neutral design means they are best suited for individuals whose feet do not excessively roll inward or outward during their stride. While versatile for gym use and various surfaces, they are optimized for short to medium distance road running.

Care

For specific cleaning and care instructions, please refer to the product label provided with your ASICS Gel-Excite 11 Road Running Shoes. Generally, it's recommended to avoid machine washing and instead use mild soap and water for spot cleaning the exterior. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
