Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Excite® 7

Shoe was very tight across the top. It caused a blister

The shoes are true to size, comfortable and look good on the outside. But inside they have a few holes! I don’t even work out in these, I should have chosen Puma again.

I love these! The issue is that the plastic that lines around the heel curls over time and starts to cause blisters as it rubs against my heel as I walk and pushes any padding away. I thought I just had a bad pair but it has done it 3 times now I’m just a short period of time. It’s so frustrating! Maybe a more expensive pair won’t have this problem?

Not sure about the fit. Just can't do the bright bright orange laces! And, don't want to be bothered changing them and buying another pair.

I don't love them but I'm keeping them since I was in need of new sneakers asap. The fit is very snug. I normally wear between 8.5 and 9, and typically buy 8.5 for sneakers since they stretch out and you can adjust the laces. These however feel very small in width in the toe box area and through the body of the sneaker. Length is fine, and if I am wearing thin socks versus wool socks, it's fine. But three weeks in, they haven't stretched a bit. I bought the grey/rose pink color scheme, and it's meh. Not loving these and wouldn't repeat the purchase.

They hurt my heel. The heel top digs in. Compared to my last Asics these have less padding around the heel and foot sides. I’m returning these. One plus: color is nice,

Fit was true to size, love the colors, very comfortable foot-bed, but no arch support to speak of.

These were a tad narrow. Exchanged for wide.

Love the shoes but don’t fit my ankle area properly for comfort due to an old injury

I looked for shoes that could work with over pronation (supination) and plantar fasciitis in my left foot. The shoes also needed to have removable footbeds to accommodate my custom orthotics. I ordered these shoes in Wide width and a half size larger than what I normally wear based on reviews. The fit was fine but they were cut too high on my foot -- the padding along the collar of the left shoe rubbed against the interior ankle bone of my left foot which was frustrating because they looked GREAT. I returned them.

I was so pleased when I opened the box and saw a very attractive pair of sneakers, however, they were at least a 1/2 size too small. I have always purchased size 8 medium width with Asics, but couldn't even get my foot into these.

Very cute. Comfortable initially but as a nurse these hurt my feet and lower back after my 12 hour shifts. I wore danskos before and I’ve decided to go back to that. As an everyday casual tennis shoe they are good.

I felt like this shoe ran a little short, making the toe box feel small as well. I love Asics and have worn them for years, but this one didn't work for me.

Look great, but there is no arch support at all. Even tho neutral my feet are rolling while walking.

Super comfortable and the only shoes I can get by without wearing insoles in! But I don’t wear them for anything super rigorous and the fabric is pulling away from where the rubber on the sole stops at the toe of the shoe. So sad!

The style shifts my feet forward and the back heel juts out a bit.

The shoes are extremely comfortable. I always order one size up in Asics. The toe box was roomy. The heel snug. No slipping. I have arthritis in my toes and feet so closed toe shoes are often uncomfortable but not these. I also felt cushioning as well. Unfortunately I get attacks of plantar fasciitis and these have no arch support. I find orthotics uncomfortable, they feel stiff and take a lot of room in shoes, but if you can wear them these could work for you.

This was a very cute lightweight shoe but I would not call it a "D" width, really more of a "C". I will be returning.
