Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Excite® 6

These fit well and are so comfy but they are so so ugly with the stark white rubber sole! Why is the only option a bright white sole? It makes them look like gym shoes or kicks from 80s when stark bright white was the thing. I prefer a muted sole, light gray sole or a sole the same/similar color as the fabric, otherwise These would be 10 stars and I'd be buying multiple pairs. Ps. The "dusty" black is actually a weird tan but they're comfy.

These are really light tennis shoes. I bought them for running, but I do not think they will hold up for that purpose very long, they just are not sturdy enough for that. They are comfortable right out of the box & look great. These are more for casual wear. I'm keeping them because they are comfortable. I will just have to buy a more serious running shoe.

These shoes are bulky and not all that comfortable. They seem to run a little large and feel super wide in the toe area. When I tighten the laces to make them feel more secure they dig into the top of my foot. I’ve worn Nike for years and went back to ASICS but I’m not impressed. They do look good though.

This was to be my second pair of Asics, but this pair ran much more narrow than my previous pair. Plus they seemed a little too short in length as well. So sad to have to return these.

I had to return them they were to narrow

I really like this shoe, but 6 weeks in and they are already ripping on the pinky toe side.

I did order 1/2 size larger than normal. The toe area is huge. Actually looked awkward. The shoes are very comfortable but I had to send back.

I have been wearing Aspics Gel Contend for a few years which I like a lot; these a little wider and have no arch support. Adding an orthotic helps, however. Asics should put some sort of arch support insole in.

These are very cute but a 9, which is what I usually wear, is way too small. They seemed very narrow.

The shoes are comfortable but feel a bit wide. I have narrow feet so being a bit to wide for most people means they are much too wide for me.

was not wide at all.

I never know what size sneakers to order. Sometimes 8.5 works, this time I ordered a 9 and they are too big. Zero arch support so I'll be sending these back.

I love the style and the color and everything except the insoles are horrible. They just need different insoles. The balls of my feet hurt so bad after walking in them for a couple hours.

The shoes were beautiful and fit well overall however the right shoe felt different than the left shoe in the heel specifically. I love the style and value but ultimately had to return them.

I wear 8.5 but these shoes were half a size too big. The top back part of the shoe is thick that makes it feel like it’s not gripping my heel/ankle which I don’t see improving with a smaller size.

These are super cute shoes! They run short and I am sad about sending them back! If they were just a half size longer!

Great looking shoe - my DD was excited to get these. We both have narrow-leaning yet medium width feet and wear a medium width, size 9 and it was way too snug. It felt like the sides were pulled way in with laces - even with the laces fully out. I tried them on, too - in case there was the angsty-exageration that happens - but they were too small for both of us. I wonder how they'd survive pre-teen foot dragging at the toe box since there's not an extra layer of fabric/toe cover on them. Saved from having her wear through them and went back to Gel- Venture or Gel- Extend for her.

I liked the style and color. But these shoes did not feel comfortable when I tried them on. The sides felt high and there wasn't cushion under foot. Also, the toe area had vertical wrinkles when I took a step. I returned the shoes.

The sides came up too far on my ankle and rubbed -- not a comfortable shoe. It's also really clunky looking.

Looked great but I returned and found something that fit my foot better

Though these sneakers were comfortable, I felt that there was no arch support at all and just wouldn't do the job with my walking every day and the days I'm at the gym.

These shoes are great looking, and I have had ASICS in the past and had them fit great, but unfortunately, I had to send these back, as it felt like there was a lump under the outside edge of my foot. Maybe I should have ordered a wide width? I have never been a wide in any shoes though.

The fit and size are great on this shoe, the problem I have with them is that I already have a hole on the top of the right shoe through the fabric and they are less than a year old. I have others that keep going and going

Unfortunately these sneaks didn't work for me. I have a touch of plantar fasciitis so I have a hard time finding sneakers that don't cause pain in my heels and/or balls of my foot. I found after standing for about an hour my feet were aching already.

Toe box was too small and i have narrow feet.
