ASICS Gel-Excite 11 Road Running Shoes - Black - UK 11

While the Gel-Excite 11 offers excellent comfort and protection for daily training, it is primarily designed for beginners and casual runners undertaking short to medium distances. For high-mileage marathon training, you might consider models with more advanced support or cushioning specifically engineered for longer distances.

We recommend measuring your foot length and comparing it to ASICS' official size guide. Keep in mind that running shoe sizes can sometimes differ from regular shoe sizes. If possible, try them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen.

The ASICS Gel-Excite 11 features a robust outsole designed for reliable grip on road surfaces. While suitable for light, well-maintained paths, it is not optimized for rugged trails, loose terrain, or technical trail running, which typically require specialized trail shoes with deeper lugs and reinforced uppers.

The lifespan of running shoes varies greatly depending on factors such as mileage, running style, body weight, and terrain. Generally, running shoes last between 300 to 500 miles (approximately 480 to 800 km) before the cushioning and support begin to degrade significantly. Listen to your body and replace them when you notice a decrease in comfort or an increase in aches.

The ASICS Gel-Excite 11 provides a comfortable and supportive ride with its AmpliFoam+ midsole and secure heel hold. It offers neutral support suitable for most foot types. If you require specific arch support for overpronation or underpronation, you might consider ASICS models designed for stability or consult with a specialist.

Adjust your lacing technique. Ensure laces are evenly tensioned across your foot. Experiment with different lacing patterns if discomfort persists.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking running socks. Verify that the shoe size is correct and consider breaking them in with shorter walks before longer runs. If discomfort continues, consult a footwear specialist.

This can sometimes be caused by moisture or friction. Try drying the shoes thoroughly. If the sound persists, it might be an issue with the insole; remove, clean, and reinsert it. If it's the outsole, ensure it's clean of debris.

While the robust outsole provides reliable grip, all shoes can lose some traction on wet or slippery surfaces. Slow down and adjust your stride in adverse conditions. Ensure the outsole tread is clean of mud or debris.
