Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Excite® 7

Super comfortable. Cushion is amazing.

Perfect!!

I shattered my ankle almost 2 years ago so athletic shoes are mostly all I can wear now... which means everything about a shoe is important. This was my first try of this brand and I love them.

Great fit, great comfort! Bought one pair for walking and for the gym (when it opens) and another pair for workouts in the home (so I don't track outside germs in).

Daughter loves these but said she's got a little too much room in the toe box which can easily be remedied with thicker socks.

If pink is your power color, you’re gonna need these. GREAT bright pink! Lightweight and comfortable right out of the box.

I normally wear a 9.5 in women's sneakers and my foot is somewhat narrow so I ordered B width 9.5's. I've had Asics prior that did not feel quite as snug as this style. They fit like a glove. I happen to like the fit as I normally wear just a thin no show sock but it could be too narrow for some. If I were to run in these i'd likely try on a half size up from my 9.5. Also, the lace is fine for me but those with a higher instep might prefer a longer lace.

The bright colors are very vibrant. The fit is true to fit and comfortable. Feels comfortable while using on the treadmill.

10 too big 9.5 a bit snug- looks great and arch support is the best

Little bit of a pressure point on the left outside.. felt narrower than the right. Opened the laces as much as I could and “ worked” the side of the shoe from inside. Seems to be easing. Haven’t worn them outside yet; we’ll see how it breaks in

These shoes felt lightweight and very airy and comfortable when I first tried them on. Although, I had a bit of rubbing/blistering in the back of heel upon first wear, but I imagine that will get better with time. Overall, a great price (on sale!) for a good pair of runners. I'm happy with my purchase!

I bought the size 8 but then ordered the 8 1/2 and it gave me that little extra room to wear with a sock Usually wear an 71/2 and 8 in a walking shoe

I bought these to wear to my job in a grocery store, where I walk miles on a hard surface every time I'm at work. I also bought the Gel-Contend as well (see my review of that elsewhere). I bought these a 1/2 size larger than my normal shoe size, based on reviews and my past experience with Asics shoes. I wore these for 9 hours today and walked over 10,000 steps in them without bothering to break them in. They were comfortable and I got many compliments on them (I bought the white with bright pink/blue/lime green accents). However, I did feel that even with my feet swelling that I could have worn my usual shoe size and not had to size up. If you want to try these I suggest you get both your size plus the 1/2 size up to see what works for you. Next time I buy these shoes I think I'll go to my normal size. Overall I recommend them.

This is a pretty comfortable shoe, although not as comfortable as the Gel-Excite 6. They changed the material on the inside of the shoe from a spandex type material to a cotton type material and I think that makes the shoe a bit less comfortable. If your socks aren’t up high enough it will rub on the heel and it feels rough. The shoe has a cushiony feel to it when you walk. I wish they would have kept the inside material the same, but overall it’s a good shoe.

Light and comfy but too narrow across the toe box. I normally wear a 7.5 medium width and my toes kept going numb after walking about 10 minutes in these. I kept loosening the ties thinking that was the problem but after my toes went numb for the 4th time and the laces as loose as they could be while still having enough to tie them, I figured they just ran really narrow. Too bad, because otherwise they're very comfy with great arch support.

Great shoe, however tight. I usually wear a 6 but I needed to return for a 6.5. The color was out of stock, but there was a good variety of other colors to choose from.

First of all, I wear size 10M in most all shoes but I order 10.5 in New Balance and did the same for these. The extra length was needed. Second, these shoes felt slightly narrower than the New Balance I was replacing. I couldn’t wear them with my padded Smartwool merino ankle socks, but my merino ultralight Pointe6 and thinner no-show socks are fine. Debated sending them back for 10.5 W, but the pink color was out of stock. All this said, the shoes are quite comfy at a great price point. They don’t look clunky on my foot either, and they feel lighter weight than some competitor shoes. . The cushioning is on par with the New Balance Fresh Foam I like. Only issue is strings seem a tad short when using the heel-lock holes, maybe because the shoes do run a bit narrow for me. I love the color!

These are fine. I always have to add arch support and will add superfeet inserts to these. I usually wear 8&1/2 M in ASICS and New Balance and the size is perfect. I have arthritis in my big toe and these should work well, just like my previous ASICS. If not, there’s always an insert that will help!

I was skeptical to try the GEL-Excite 7 because I have found that most ASICS are extremely inconsistent in size and fit. I opted to try these based on the positive reviews, style and because I LOVE my Gel-Excite 6 which are no longer made. I hoping for a similar comfort level. Unfortunately, these did not hit the mark! I found them to be a bit stiff and not very cushiony. Being on my feet in a hospital for 12 hours, I need sneakers offer support and comfort. After about four hours, I started to develop back and knee pain. By end of shift, my toes were numb. I gave them one more try with the same result. I would say at best, these sneakers are good for running errands.

This is a leisure street shoe, rather than an athletic shoe. It has no interior support.

Older style gels had a wider toe box and seemed to fit me feet better. Newer styles seem narrower and have a weird puckering in the toe area when I walk. This is the second style of ASICS I’ve tried with a similar issue with the toe area.

I love love loved these shoes, until the heel wore through to the plastic only 6 weeks into owning them! I was heartbroken and had to return them. :( they were very comfortable until they weren’t!

Loved the Shoe — Perfect Size & Fit — but the Back Rubbed & Caused Blisters On my Achilles. Had to Return them. Damn.

I wear an 8 1/2 M but these shoes were too narrow for my feet. The padding of the heel rubbed when I walked.

I couldn’t get my foot in sneaker. It was to narrow. I have slim feet. I ordered my correct size
