FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Gel-Excite 11 offers neutral support. While comfortable for many, those with severe overpronation might require additional orthotic support.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the adhesive and cushioning technology. Always hand clean with a damp cloth.
How often should I replace them?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of your usage and surface types.
Is the mesh upper water-resistant?
No, the mesh is designed for maximum breathability and will allow water to pass through if walking in heavy rain.
Do these shoes run true to size?
ASICS trainers typically follow standard athletic sizing, but it is recommended to leave a thumb's width of space at the front for comfort.
Can I use these for HIIT workouts?
Yes, their lightweight design and stable base make them quite suitable for versatile gym movements and interval training.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long runs
Ensure you are using the correct size and consider if your socks provide adequate moisture-wicking properties to reduce friction.
Accumulated dirt on the mesh
Allow the mud to dry completely and gently brush it away with a soft-bristled brush before using a damp cloth for spot cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Excite 11 trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short periods around the house or during light walks before taking them on long-distance runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Hand wash the shoes using a soft brush, warm water, and mild detergent. Remove the sockliner to clean separately.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Never place them in a clothes dryer or near direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can degrade the cushioning material and warp the mesh.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
