The ASICS Gel-Excite 11 is built for versatility and comfort in a variety of settings. Its Gel cushioning makes it an excellent choice for daily wear, providing a soft landing with each step, whether you're commuting, walking, or standing for long periods.
For runners, this shoe shines in relaxed running laps and training sessions. The lightweight midsole contributes to a smooth, energetic stride, making short to medium distances feel effortless. The robust outsole offers dependable grip, performing well on common urban surfaces like pavements and asphalt, and also providing confidence on light park trails.
The breathable mesh upper is particularly beneficial during warmer weather or longer sessions, actively managing moisture and keeping your feet comfortable. This shoe is a reliable companion for anyone seeking a blend of comfort, gentle support, and dynamic responsiveness in their active lifestyle. It's a go-to option for general fitness and casual athletic pursuits rather than specialized high-performance racing.
Lacing: Ensure laces are firm but not overly tight. Use an appropriate lacing technique that suits your foot shape, such as 'heel lock' lacing for extra security if needed.
Fit Check: Wear the shoes with the type of socks you typically use. There should be a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Your heel should feel secure without slipping.
The ASICS Gel-Excite 11 is a neutral running shoe. This means it is best suited for individuals with a neutral gait or mild supination, where the foot rolls inward minimally. It does not provide extensive arch support or motion control for those who overpronate (foot rolls inward excessively).
Cleaning:
Remove excess dirt using a soft brush or damp cloth.
For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage materials and cushioning.
Gently scrub the upper and sole.
Drying:
Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature.
Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers) as these can warp materials or degrade adhesives.
Stuff the shoes with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prolong their lifespan.
