Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Excite® 4

I only wear Asics tennis shors. They Fit better than any other brand. I haven't worn this pair yet, but I really like the looks of these for fall and winter

I really love these shoes. I'm definitely an Asics girl and these have great support. Colors are pretty fresh too!

I had to order a half size up from my usual, but they're comfy and well-constructed (and were less expensive than some other options I tried!).

I read the reviews about them being smaller than normal, so instead of ordering an 8, I ordered 8 1/2. They are snug but seem stretchy enough that I think they will be fine. If I order these again, I will order a full size larger.

Wanted to love these as I do another pair of Asics. Sadly they had to go back. Even with my custom orthotic these felt too small and cramped my toes.

Pretty sneaker. Wear them 2-3 times a week to the gym. Haven’t had any problems so far, and I’ve worn them several months.

This is an amendment to my previous review I normally wear a 7 and 1/2 wide these shoes I read ran little bit small. I got the size 8 initially they felt fine after wearing them for a few hours they felt more snug. I do not think I could wear an 8 and 1/2 those seemed just to be too long and my foot sort of slides around I think these will be okay if they stretch just a little after I get them broken in

Normally I wear a 7.5 wide. Size 8 was good in these

I have worn these twice. I always wear a half size bigger in Asics and they fit perfectly. I love how they look. They don't have as much arch support as my expensive Asics, but they worked fine for a walking shoe.

So far so good. Hard to review an item I've only worn twice, but these shoes are a bit less expensive than some of the other models I've been wearing, so that's a plus. I love the style. The shoes don't seem to have as much cushion as the Gel-Nimbus, but they feel supportive and light.

Take a .5 size larger. Comfortable and stylish.

Comfortable enough, but would be a better shoe with more cushioning.

It was cute. I have a narrow foot and it felt nice not like most sneakers that are too wide.

I like this shoe because I can take out the liner and replace it with my orthotic inserts. Also, unlike many other running shoes, the laces are not so long that you have to double knot them to keep them from dragging on the ground. I wear these from sun up to sun down as my primary daily shoe and find them comfortable.

I discovered that the mesh on the black/blue was different than all the other colors. Not as soft and a different weave. Ended up keeping the dark blue, but had to order 3 different pairs before finding one that fit well. Oddly, not every pair of identical shoes fits exactly the same. The first pair I ordered seemed to run a tad smaller than normal. I have had Excite shoes for years, and something was just off a bit with these, the first pair actually made my feet ache and felt too snug (yet it was my normal size). The final pair felt more true to size, so I think I finally have a keeper. I have always loved these shoes, I just wish the manufacturing was a little bit more consistent. That's why I love Zappos, you can find just the right pair without paying a fortune in shipping!

I usually wear a 7W and in this shoe I took a 7.5 W. Having said that, it’s not unusual for me to go up 1/2 size in an athletic shoe. I do feel that this shoe is a bit narrower than a typical wide; but I can make it work, probably because it is mesh fabric. If it came in a WW, that might have been more comfortable, but it doesn’t so I’ll never know. Not worth returning it though especially since I am so hard to fit.

Very comfortable with lots of cushion. Wish they could be a bit wider.

I have extremely weird feet. They ache and ache at night. I have tried nearly every Asics shoe and these and Gel-Venture are the only ones that my feet can survive wearing all day at work. They are cuter than the Venture, but not as comfy. great support.

Fit was great for me. Have big feel (size 12) and bunions, so this ste has more room and less “seams” to rub. Tried a couple other styles, and had to send back. This style is the only one that I can tolerate without having to stretch or wear bunion protectors!!

I have bought these running shoes—to run and to job in—multiple times. I have fairly narrow feet and I pronate, but these keep my feet, ankles and legs stable. I do wish they had a bit more arch support. However, I have tried other brands including Brooks and Saucony to help my pronation and they are too extreme; I am rolling over to the far edges of my feet and that is not healthy or comfortable. I find that these running are good for pronation but not extreme overpronation. I could live without the cammo styling. I wear a 8.5 US shoe and a 9.5 running shoe. The fit is great. I also like that they are not too hot and have been really good on very hot days. I plan on buying them aain.

I have been wearing the Gel series for awhile...first as a walker and now mixing in running. My challenge is that my foot is medium to wide but my heel is narrow. This shoe works well but I might be tempted to order a half size bigger and lace tighter at the top to acommodate my heel.
