Asics Gel-Excite review

Asics Gel-Excite

The comfortable one. My knees preferred these.

8/104.5 / 5

Asics Gel-Excite is the budget daily trainer that running reviews describe as reliable and a bit dull. I will take dull. My knees preferred these to the softer fashion pairs. The gel is not a miracle. It is a familiar bit of cushion in a shoe that fits.The long reviews praise durability and a secure heel. The complaints are a narrow toe box for some, and that the foam is not the cloud you get in a much dearer Asics. I did not need a bigger size. After a few runs they were the pair by the door. That is the review.
