The GEL-EXCITE 9 shoe is a comfortable trainer for the casual fitness runner. Thanks to its engineered jacquard mesh upper, this material increases airflow while creating a softer feel against your foot. A combination of AMPLIFOAM cushioning and GEL technology are placed in the midsole. These features provide better impact absorption with a more forgiving landing at footstrike.

Delivery was quick and hassle free. However, while the initial shoe presented well in appearance and finish, the sole started coming away from shoe bed after only a few months. I have experienced this poor quality gluing with other ASICS models e.g. Cumulus Gel. This is a recent development in the last two years. When I asked for a refund, I was told it was because I had gotten the shoes wet. This is completely unavoidable when running on grass or any soft surface. Also sweat will also cause the shoe to get wet in dry conditions. The cushioning of the shoes was initially good but the sole did compress after a few months reducing cushioning.

As I was in the market for shoes that provide good support for walking, running and standing, I found myself attracted to the Asics brand. The Gel Excite 9 just so happened to be my first choice and I'm extremely glad I found this shoe. Despite being heavy, my feet didn't hurt at all after going on a run which was extremely impressive. I can see myself wearing these shoes for long walks when I'm out and about, ending the day with my feet free of pain. What I noticed is that the way the shoe is designed makes walking feel natural and efficient with consistent strides. It encourages heel-striking which is great for walking too. I love these shoes so much that I'm hoping to stick with the Asics brand and perhaps this shoe for a long time.

I absolutely love these sneakers! They are THE most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. I have terrible foot problems and I see a podiatrist every 4 weeks and he recommends Asic tennis shoes highly. I have one pair for work- I’m on my feet for eight hours a day- and one pair for the gym. Believe me you will not be sorry if you get this shoe. I love mine!

I recently decided to do some research into which shoe sizes truly fit me (size/width/foot strike/pronation). I run frequently, and have for years now. I found multiple shoes online that would fit the bill, but I wanted to stop by academy before purchasing anything to try on some of the recommended sizes and see what I’ve been missing out on. I arrived at academy and they of course have a good selection of shoes. I found the shoes, was able to compare and contrast multiple shoes at different prices and styles. Ultimately, I purchased these ASICS. I’m blown away by the comfort and support it provides while remaining light weight. I’m a 6’ 1” 245lbs, and these shoes have shown so far that it’s possible to have cushion between you and the road.

They were on the cheaper side, vs your more expensive running shoes. I got the extra wide 10.5 and they fit perfectly.
Tried to give this shoe four and a half stars. Apparently half stars are not possible. Great shoes!!! My feet are “picky” and the only challenge with these is the slightly narrow width at the ball of the foot. A little creative lace tying and I’m good for all day on a busy vacation, including walking around National Parks. I’m planning to purchase another pair so I know I’ll have a backup if needed.
I purchased these for my husband who frequently suffers from painful heels (Plantar fasciitis I think). I did extensive research, and this particular shoe kept coming up as recommended by podiatrists. As soon as he wore them the first time, he was surprised at how comfortable and lightweight they are. (The mesh seems very thin and flimsy, but I think it is because we are used to always having heavy leather shoes.) He has now worn these for a few days and is extremely satisfied. No heel pain, and taking the daily walk with the dog has now become pleasurable. He also said that even though the mesh does not seem supportive, the inserts in the shoes cup his heel/foot and feel very stable. He is very happy with these shoes! He generally wears a size 7 mens shoe, and that ... MoreI purchased these for my husband who frequently suffers from painful heels (Plantar fasciitis I think).

These sneakers were defective! They were completely unfinished from the factory,What a joke.I notice 90% of what I buy here is defective and the descriptions are inaccurate as well as the size charts. They have gotten a ton of money from me, waiting on returns and getting out.I will NOT be FOOLED again.
These arrived promptly. Asics are my “go to” sneakers and these did not disappoint. Very comfortable, size 11 1/2 are often hard to find. Just an fyi, not sure what mako blue is but these are brighter than navy, more like cobalt. I love them and I have multiple foot problems. Definitely worth the money.
Been buying these bc ASICS can’t seem to ever have a fashionable GT-1000 or my size in stock. I’ve almost rolled my ankle ever time I wear there’s because the sneaker is more narrow than the GT-1000. I don’t understand why a company that claims it sells out of a sneaker before it has the opportunity to hit store shelves wouldn’t boost their manufacturing on said line? Please don’t blame Covid, unfortunately I’ve been wearing GT-1000’s since mid 2000’s
This is a very comfortable shoes for daily walking or running. It is really wide and big. You have to chose: (your size - 0.5)But I really question its durability!!! The tissue of this shoes is so light. My previous pair of ASICS is made by solid materials compare to this one.
