Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Excite® 6

The sneakers are very comfortable, and they are wider near the front than another pair of Asics I had tried, and consider this a big plus. I had to buy them 1/2 size larger than my usual size. I got the black and pink one, and like it. I didn't realize until I got them at home that while the outside edges of the sneakers have a pink strip, the inside edges are all white, which I think is a little strange, and I probably would not have gotten them if I had known. My granddaughters thought having the two colors was great.

Due to the fact that I have bunions, I decided to go up a size so I got the 7s. The only thing I DON'T like about this shoe is that the rim of the ankle is too high and, for some reason, gets really dirty. [or maybe it's just the light color that is showing all the dirt.]. Either way, very comfortable shoe right out of the box.

I usually wear the Gel-Excite 4 but you don't sell those anymore. These don't feel like there's as much cushion as there are in the Excite 4. These are definitely good but I still like the Excite 4 a little better. It's really hard to find a good shoe for higher mileage without spending a ton of money.

I ordered a half size larger than usual, as many reviewers seemed to recommend, and I ordered them wide. The size was perfect. However, after walking around in them for half an hour, my right leg started to cramp up painfully. It has a really nice cushioned shoe insert. In spite of that, I found my right foot kind of wobbling back and forth as I walked in them. I found it hard to stabilize on that foot. (My right hip is dislocated, which causes my right foot to angle out to the right somewhat while walking/running. I seem to have unusual needs when it comes to shoes.) I usually like Asics and I could see how others might love this model, but they don't work well for me.

The style, color (charcoal), overall comfort for a kick-around or light exercise tennie was perfect. They are lightweight too. Unfortunately these weren't quite as slim and sleek on me (with "athletic legs") as I prefer. The most important note: I'm an 8.5 or 9 depending on the brand (Nike 9, New Balance 8.5) - the 9 in this style was half a size too big. I think the 8.5 would have been perfect. In my experience, sizing down to the half size would do it!

Fit was great. Not my dream shoe but close.Happy with this purchase.

I ordered half size bigger in order to add my orthotics, unfortunately they were too snug to add anything. I would have kept them otherwise.

I would give these a 5-star review except they don’t give me quite enough arch support. I may need to use different insoles. Overall, I really like them: cute color, enough room in toe box for my long toes and my bunion, fit my narrow heels. I can’t ask for much more. I was a Brooks girl but Asics are my shoes now.

This is a very nice shoe for the price. I had to return it because it didn't give enough cushion on the upper sides and upper heel areas. Because of Zappos' excellent customer service, I was able to return the item and order another. Thank you Zappos!!

Not enough cushion

If they weren’t so tight, they would be exactly what I was looking for. I normally take a 5 US and a 5.5 US would have been perfect

I really like these shoes. I ordered a 9 wide, they did seem a bit narrower that most wides, but they are very comfortable. I did add my own insoles for better arch support.

I previously bought a pair of Excite 4 and loved them. They are worn out now, so I decided to get another a pair and buy the newer version. I bought the same size (11) but this one ran small. I really like the shoe otherwise. I am guessing a half size larger would fit much better.

I bought these because size 10 ASICS have been too small lately. All my other 10’s are fine ???????. These are a little roomy but do the trick. Comfy

I find that ASICS now run narrow so I ordered wide and that works. Not as much arch support as I used to get with ASICS, but it's okay. The color and comfort are good, and so is the price. :)

These are nice looking, as far as running shoes go. My biggest complaint is that they are very HOT. I had a pair of Nike running shoes for years that were so breathable. My feet start sweating in these immediately. Not ideal in a running shoe.

The shoes feel really great and I enjoy the look and it feels like cotton on my feet. However, this past week. I have really start to put these shoes to use. Exercising more which includes running, jumping rope, outdoors. The shoes do not feel good for support. My feet burn at the bottom and I don't have any type of foot problem generally. I will just wear these shoes for normal use. Not for exercise. I previously purchase Asics, when I ran before. However, I guess I will have to"buy up."

This shoe fits very nicely on my narrow heel and they are nice looking.

Very cute shoe and lightweight! Runs a little smaller in the toe area that other wide shoes but still very comfortable.

Love the vibrant colors, but ran small for me had to return

Love the colors, but alas they were too small going to try something different

Got these to replace an old pair of running shoes and I am very happy with. They're very comfortable for running on the treadmill and have the right amount of cushioning for my feet.
