Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Excite 10

Uncommonly good: very comfortable, well-cushioned, flexible, certainly reasonably priced. "Style?" What does that really mean in this context? For people interested in making a fashion statement with their running shoes? That seems comical. The reason these shoes are so good - and so reasonably priced - is because they evidently lack the fancy plastic polyurethane in the midsoles that purportedly enhance performance but generally negligibly and can have for some folks painful drawbacks. This 10 version much more resembles the excellent GEL-Excite 8 than the 9. The 9 has a heel tab stiff as a board. That can painfully stress tendons. The 8 has a soft heel tab. The 10 is pretty soft, not quite as soft as the 8 but a huge improvement over the 9.

This shoe is not a true 4E

Shoes feel great - very light but lots of support and cushioning

Out of the box, Gel-Excite looks like a standard running shoe. It has that “running shoe” look without the fancy overlays, midsole cut-outs, or bright neon of the more expensive running shoes these days. This shoe gave me the same impression on my first walk around the kitchen as I found in the first 10 miles: basic comfort and no issues with ride, feel, or fit. This shoe just works. It does what it looks like it will do and what I expect it to do. Also a great value for the money.

I wear an 8 shoe, ordered an 8 and it is huge.

They fit good. They do have a lot of cushion in them when you walk. More than other Asics and I own several pairs.

Currently dealing with sciatic nerve pain, so good fitting, comfortable shoes are a must. Would not even have thought about buying running shoes for everyday wear, but saw a couple of articles written by podiatrists who recommended running shoes due to all of the technology that has gone into their development. These shoes are wonderful, very lightweight, with arch support that is strong enough to ensure good posture as well as greatly minimized pain. Considering buying another pair in a different color!

everything was fine

Great support and comfortable. Not good for wet weather.

I bought these a running shoe for my teenage son. They fit his high instep well and he appreciates the roomy toe box. He thought the cushioning may have been a tad too much but then his old shoe was a Brooks with little cushioning. Overall a good running shoe at a good price.

Nice fit, good cushion

I have a lot of trouble finding shoes that fit a 10.5 eeee. My feet are not FAT feet so the normal quad E's are for big feet, not wide feet. The Asics work if they are true to size. If you been running and buying shoes for awhile you know what I'm talking about, when you find a shoe that fits perfectly.

I have a very wide foot so I buy the same size Asics every time, and they fit perfectly. This time there was a stylish color available, which is a big bonus. Thank you!

These shoes are extremely comfortable! This is my second pair. It's like walking on marshmallows!

Love them and the Zappos deals.

Great support and cushioning; lightweight, very comfortable right out of the box. A great shoe for the price point!

Very pleased after 1 year. Run often. Hike often.

These Shoes Feel Amazing and Hug, massage your feet!!! Best Shoe Ever!!!!

Perfect fit. Felt a little narrow at first. But I adjusted the laces and they’re great now. If you’re between medium and wide, get wide. Very cushiony and springy. Good support in arch to prevent pronation.

Fit was true to size and the shoes are very comfortable.

Excellent

Super comfy running/walking shoe with an outstanding price point.
