The ASICS Gel-Excite 11 is engineered for consistent performance during your daily runs and training sessions. As a neutral running shoe, it provides balanced cushioning and support, making it ideal for adult male runners whose feet do not excessively roll inward or outward during their stride. The integrated ASICS Gel technology is particularly effective at absorbing impact from the road, contributing to a smoother and more comfortable ride, especially on paved surfaces. This shoe is well-suited for moderate distances and everyday mileage, offering a dependable foundation for your running routine. For example, if you're heading out for a 5-10k run on asphalt, the Gel-Excite 11 provides the necessary comfort and protection.
Lacing: Ensure laces are snug but not too tight. Use all eyelets for a secure fit, especially the top two for ankle stability.
Socks: Wear appropriate running socks that wick moisture away to prevent blisters and enhance comfort.
Break-in: While many running shoes are comfortable from day one, allow for a few short runs to fully break in the shoe before longer distances.
Runner Type: Best suited for neutral adult male runners. If you have significant overpronation or supination, a different type of support shoe might be more appropriate.
Running Surface: Optimized for road running, track, and gym use. While it can handle light gravel, it's not designed for aggressive trail conditions.
Foot Size: This specific variant is a UK size 6.5. Ensure you measure your feet accurately and check ASICS's sizing chart if unsure.
Cleaning: Hand wash your shoes with mild soap and cold water. Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators). Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Air Out: After each run, remove the insoles and allow your shoes to air out to prevent odor buildup.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for prolonged periods.
Lifespan: Running shoes typically last between 300-500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, and terrain. Monitor the outsole and midsole for signs of wear and consider replacing them when cushioning feels diminished.
