The ASICS Gel-Excite 11 is engineered to deliver a consistent and comfortable experience across various everyday scenarios. For daily road runs, the combination of AMPLIFOAM PLUS cushioning and Rearfoot Gel Technology significantly reduces impact on hard surfaces, allowing for smoother transitions and less fatigue over distance. Users will notice the responsive feel, making each step feel cushioned yet energetic.
During gym sessions, these shoes provide the necessary comfort and support for diverse activities, from treadmill runs to light cross-training. The breathable mesh upper ensures your feet remain cool, even during more intense workouts.
For all-day wear, the Gel-Excite 11 stands out due to its overall comfort and supportive structure. Whether you're on your feet for extended periods, running errands, or enjoying a casual walk, the ORTHOLITE sockliner and ample cushioning contribute to sustained comfort, making them a reliable choice for long hours.
Lacing: Simply put on the shoes and adjust the laces to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the laces are snug enough to prevent your foot from sliding, but not so tight as to cause pressure points. You can experiment with different lacing patterns if you experience specific pressure points or need more midfoot support.
Running Surfaces: Best suited for road running, pavements, and indoor track surfaces. While versatile, they are not specifically designed for rugged trail running.
Activities: Ideal for daily runs, light to moderate intensity gym workouts, and everyday casual wear.
Cleaning: The ASICS Gel-Excite 11 shoes are machine washable. It's recommended to remove the laces and sockliners (if removable) before washing. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Place them in a mesh laundry bag to protect them during the wash.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes. Do not put them in a tumble dryer, as high heat can damage the materials and adhesives. Stuff them with newspaper or paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape while drying.
