The ASICS Gel-Excite 11 is built for versatility and comfort across various activities. Its primary strength lies in daily training runs, where the Gel cushioning significantly dampens impact, making longer distances or frequent outings more comfortable. For leisurely walks or everyday wear, the shoe's breathable upper and lightweight feel ensure your feet stay comfortable throughout the day. Runners will appreciate the robust outsole which provides confident grip whether you're pounding pavements in the city or exploring light park trails. The secure heel hold is particularly beneficial during varied terrain or when picking up pace slightly, ensuring your foot remains stable within the shoe. While not a performance racing shoe, it consistently delivers a smooth and protected ride for the casual to moderately active runner.
Your ASICS Gel-Excite 11 shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply lace them up to a comfortable, secure fit. It's recommended to wear them for short periods initially to allow your feet to adjust, though the Gel-Excite series is known for its immediate comfort.
These shoes are designed as a neutral running shoe. This means they are best suited for runners who have a neutral pronation pattern, where their foot rolls inward by less than 15% after landing. If you overpronate (your foot rolls inward excessively), you might benefit from a stability shoe. The sizing is UK 13 (adult male).
Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can degrade materials over time.
Drying: If your shoes get wet, remove the insoles and stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture. Allow them to air dry naturally.
