ASICS Gel-Excite 11 running shoes
8.1/10 (Expert Score)
The ASICS Gel-Excite 11 running shoes are inexpensive, entry-level shoes that offer a lot for their price. The upper is comfortably cushioned and moderately breathable.
The midsole is stiffer than those of other running shoes, but that doesn’t mean it’s hard. The outsole has good traction and is moderately wear-resistant. They are a good choice for beginner runners and low-intensity runs of up to 10-15 km. The stiffer sole makes them ideal for walking and all-day wear, as well as for runners with a higher body weight. An extra-wide version is also available, which is worth considering if your feet are wider than average.
Description
ASICS Gel-Excite 11 upper
The ASICS Gel-Excite 11 running shoe upper is made of a moderately breathable mesh material. It is true to size and moderately wide, though an extra-wide version is also available. The moderately padded tongue is not fixed, but it stays in place while running because the laces can be threaded through the top strap. The highly cushioned and reinforced heel collar provides good, comfortable support for the foot. The midsole foam curves slightly over the upper to increase foot stability.
ASICS Gel-Excite 11 midsole
The ASICS Gel-Excite 11 running shoe midsole is made entirely of AmpliFoam+, a material that is firmer than the average running shoe currently available but not overly firm. There is a longitudinal “groove” at the bottom of the midsole, which gives the shoe low torsional stiffness and increases comfort while keeping the shoe flexible. Since AmpliFoam Plus foam has moderate dynamism and slightly weaker shock absorption than average, a thin gel layer has been added to the heel. This gel layer differs from the Pure-Gel layer found in the Nimbus and Cumulus; it is thinner and smaller.
ASICS Gel-Excite 11 outsole
The ASICS Gel-Excite 11 running shoe outsole is segmented and does not cover the entire midsole. This allows ASICS to reduce the shoe’s weight while maintaining its flexibility. The outsole has good grip and is made of moderately soft rubber. It is moderately resistant to wear, and since the outsole is thick, it is expected to be durable, although this also depends on the runner’s weight and running style.
