Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Excite® 8

Generally good. A little narrow in the size and thin in the material.

very pleased with the product and the delivery speed. Thanks

Overall, a nice shoe. I wear them for a one-hour daily brisk walk and have had only two very minor issues. First, the shoe is narrow. I ordered an "Extra Wide," which typically fits me with other brands, but these are a bit on the tight side. Second, the laces are short, so I can't use the extra shoelace hole for a lace lock, which would help the overall feel of the shoe. Neither of these issues is worth returning the shoe, but I'll likely look elsewhere for my next pair.

Ran a half size too small. Very comfortable. Padded area around heel offers good support.

Good shoe. Good fit. Use it on the treadmill 3-4 times a week.

Great looking shoe. Squeaking a little but hope with wear it will disappear.

I believe these sneakers are slightly narrower than the Gel-excite 7. Or perhaps there is more arch support than my flat foot needs, I’m breaking them in. They look great and I have gotten compliments on the color.

I love the cushion of the Excite line. Very light weight and super comfy. I loved the styling of the 7 but the 8 lacked a little of the “splash” of color. Functionally they are excellent though.

Okay shoe for the price. However, they are way too narrow and shallow for the 4E/WW size ordered. I also have another ASICS style that is also similar fit which I do not recall in the past. Will not be buying anymore ASICS shoes, but sizing problems are common in most other brands.

Great shoe but after 4 months Of wearing, the outer tread is separating from the shoe. I would have hoped it would have stayed together longer.

I regret purchasing these. Not as comfortable as Reebok or Nike. Was attracted by the low price of ASICS but they kinda suck. Too much “old man/dad style”.

Nice design but felt cheap. Would buy for lower price.

This shoe seems to be a little longer than the other size 11 Asics shoes I have. The outsole is thinner, especially at the heels. The outsole, including the heel, is thinner than the outsole on two other pairs of Asics that have well over 500 miles each on them.

You would think a 4E would be really wide but it fit more like a medium. Didn't come close to fitting width-wise even though it was at least a half-size if not a full size longer than necessary. 4E used to fit just fine. Now it seems there is little difference between an E width and a 4E width. Had the same experience with multiple brands. May be a fine shoe but can't get it on the foot.
