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.

This is a very comfortable shoes for daily walking or running. However, It is not made for people with wide feet.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.

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.

ASICS left me in limbo when they messed with the width of the now discontinued Gel Fortitude in 2020, I had to return what I expected to be my next pair of runners- Very disappointed, the 2E 10.5 had been my running shoe of choice for a decade. I moved to New Balance fresh foam 1080ās which suit my feet for width, though I continued trying ASICS in hope they might change back to previous width sizing - thereās no end of complaints out there.I purchased the GEL EXCITES as a trial in the widest size, 4E because they are lightly built and have stretchy fabric across the foot and allow for my high instep and wide forefoot. So far so good, they are comfortable for jogging and walking, a little too stretchy for gym work. My concern is the lack of reinforcing across the ...Ā MoreASICS left me in limbo when they messed with the width of the now discontinued Gel Fortitude in 2020, I had to return what I expected to be my next pair of runners- Very disappointed, the 2E 10.5 had been my running shoe of choice for a decade.

My concern is the lack of reinforcing across the toe tip, I think my toes will eventually break through.They are light, comfortable, stable and shock absorbing with good ventilation and of course their build quality is top notch.Great customer service from ASICS as always, overnight delivery šš» easy purchasešš»šš»
Tried to give this shoe four and a half stars. Apparently half stars are not possible. Great shoes!!! My feet are āpickyā and the only challenge with these is the slightly narrow width at the ball of the foot. A little creative lace tying and Iām good for all day on a busy vacation, including walking around National Parks. Iām planning to purchase another pair so I know Iāll 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 ...Ā MoreI purchased these for my husband who frequently suffers from painful heels (Plantar fasciitis I think).

I bought these shoes as my school shoes. And playing any type of sport just destroys them. I got holes in them as soon as I went to lunch and played basketball. We thought it just might of been that pair of shoes and so they were nice enough to send us another pair. I stopped playing basketball and they were fine. Then I got back into basketball and I got holes instantly. Really disappointing as I have always gone with Asics. I put up with the holes and after wearing them for 3 months I had big holes in both shoes and the sole had had worn away up to the rubber, the fabric in the inside is waring away also the insole of shoe had holes in them. The shoe quality is just so bad. Definitely don't recommend this shoe. I had previously gone with the Contend 8 and they ...Ā MoreI bought these shoes as my school shoes.

Been buying these bc ASICS canāt seem to ever have a fashionable GT-1000 or my size in stock. Iāve almost rolled my ankle ever time I wear thereās because the sneaker is more narrow than the GT-1000. I donāt understand why a company that claims it sells out of a sneaker before it has the opportunity to hit store shelves wouldnāt boost their manufacturing on said line? Please donāt blame Covid, unfortunately Iāve been wearing GT-1000ās since mid 2000ās
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.
