Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Excite® 7

Great looking shoe. Had to return for size, they seem to run narrow and short. No arch support which I need.

I read a review that these shoes feel and look a bit cheap. I agree. I am a fan of Asics but these just dont work for me. They run small and not enough support. I am a walker/jogger. Short distances but knees, legs and feet cant handle impact. These dont seem to have the cushion, springy support.I tried a whole size up and still too snug. I am returning. Zappos makes it so easy to return!

These are alot more narrow in the middle than I like.

The shoe runs small and provides little support for runners. The toes curve in too short for my feet.

The fit is not wide as described

The shoe overall is sized correctly but narrower in the toe box than ASICS I’ve bought in the past. This seems to be a trend with newer ASICS.

I wanted to love these. They felt pretty good out of the box, but I went on a walk and came back with blisters on both ankles above the heel. I don’t know why the shoes come so high and angle in, but they do and it hurts. I tried putting inserts in them to boost my heel up, but the liners don’t come out and the fit was much too tight with both in. So they’re going back. Zappos service is always excellent though!

Tried them on, immediately I could tell these shoes would make my feet ache. They’re so stiff and uncomfortable I could not imagine running in them. Returning them now.

Nice looking but toe box was very narrow, even in a wide.

Need to be faster delivery. A month and 2 weeks. NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!!!!

Not enough cushion or support.

I did order 8 wide and the toe box is still narrow.

With the extra amplifoam, it feels a bit snug compared to previously bought Contend models. Although I usually wear 9W, I've had to purchase 9.5M because of limited stock of models that I like that are affordable. I've tried to break it in on my daily walks, but my feet still hurt after. May have to buy some inserts which I was hoping not to have to because of the extra padding.

I purchased these shoes because I needed new running shoes. In the past, Asics have been fine for me; however, these shoes caused a lot of friction/immediate blisters in the Achilles region. There is not an indent, like in most running shoes, to accommodate the achilles tendon, thus discomfort and blisters occur. This may be a fine walking shoe, but for a running shoe, not ideal.

The shoe itself is fun and bright but unfortunately I received so many blisters after (1) day of wearing them. They didn't feel like the classic ASICS I am use to.

These shoes run very small

The fit was to narrow, Not much room for my Orthoric.

This shoe is great, however when doing high impact plyometric workouts, the top and sides of the shoe do not hold my foot in and causes too much movement in the shoe which resulted in arch pain and top of foot pain. Excellent shoe, but not made for my foot/workouts.

Disappointed, the toe of the shoe is shaped in such a narrow V-shape, there is not enough space for toes. I guess I need a wider toe box, these are quite uncomfortable. Also, the top of the heel is pretty tight and rubs into my heel. These may be perfect for some foot shapes, but not for mine. The "mint" color is really cute for spring. This review for the ASICS Gel-Excite 7.

Loved the color, support and style. However the tie box seems narrow and causes discomfort after wearing fir any length of time.,

Cute hot pink color but didn't fit my feet right

I thought the comfort was really great wearing them around the house but first time out walking the bottoms of my feet hurt. Not enough cushion in the souls. I would have returns them but threw the box out. I love Zappos and would order again, just a different style.
