I am 6'2 240lbs, athletic build. Rugby is my sport so cardio training is a must. I got a pair of Excites about 7 years ago and literally ran the soles off of them. They were the best shoe I've ever had. I'm excited to now have the 7th generation. I made the mistake of trying other brands and styles, so i am glad to be back in a pair of these. They have the comfort of cushioning without overdoing it. I prefer a neutral/minimal shoe and these are a perfect happy medium. Although i am almost exclusively a toe runner, i love that the sole is a single plane which makes for a smooth ride from heel to toe. I just tried on my new 7s and it was like an old friend had just moved back in town. I'm looking forward to putting many miles on these.

Some of the best sneakers I’ve ever put on my feet...and for $30-70 less than comparable brands!

Great looking shoe. Comfortable and stable enough to wear for circuit training and HIIT but cool enough to wear out with street clothes.

My daughter purchased these for me as an early fathers day gift. I'll be 63 in two months and had heart surgery and multiple strokes 10 years ago and I am still going, not running but walking. I have diabetes, neuropothy, heel spurs and other feet problems but these are more comfortable than orthopedics and look better too. These are my 7th pair in 10 years.

My husband said PERFECT! That’s all I cared about. He’s very picky when it comes to his shoes. It’s been a few hours since the mail came and he’s tried the shoes on, and he’s still wearing them!

I received the sneakers 6 days ago and this was the first time I ordered sneakers on line. Obviously due to the coronavirus, I didn't have a choice. So I was a little apprehensive to do this. When I received the package, it was close to my walking group to walk. We walk every day at 7 at night. I put them on and they felt really good. I walked the 2 miles and didn't have a single problem with them. I have walked everyday since. I am very pleased with this purchase and would EASILY order them again. I will have to in about four or five months anyway due to the amount of walking I do.

Most comfortable Asics running shoe I have experienced. Been running in Asics running shoes for about 20 years. This shoe is lightweight, but has great cushioning. Great for both training runs and racing!

These are light and comfortable. I chose them because they were available in wide width, and I am happy I made that choice. The arch support is there, but it is very slight. If you want more arch support, you may need to use an insert, which again, is a good reason for the wider width and roomier inside.

I'm a healthcare worker. During this time there's a long period of standing and moving around. This shoe is very comfortable and I highly recommend this to healthcare workers!

Shoes fit and feel great. Couldn't walk 2mi with my old shoes, now walking 5.5 mi per day with no discomfort. Super comfy and stability is good too.

I suffer from under-pronation. The Excite has a wedge buried in the heel that compensates for this. I've been wearing the Excite since V4, and I really like the new V7 I just got at Zappos. There is now an additional loop further up on the tongue to help keep it straight and not move off to the side.
The cushioning is excellent. I walk 5 miles daily and I don't have any issues with my feet, ankles or legs. One leg is significantly shorter than the other, an artifact of an auto accident when I was in my 30s. I slip a Dr. Scholl's heel pad under the inner sole to even the disparity.
My only note to new users of Asics shoes: they run 1 full size smaller than your street shoe size. I normally wear a 9 ½ shoe, but for Asics, I need a 10 ½.
It's an excellent shoe at a terrific price. I keep buying them, so maybe that says more about what I think about this shoe!

Found the ASICS GEL-Excite 7 to feel great and fit perfectly right out of the box. Unlike like other brands, I did not need to break in my size 13/medium width sneakers.
