Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Excite® 8

First pair were to big, returned and order size smaller, return them also to tight. No happy fit

I ordered these toward the end of last year, but only recently got to run in them. The only positive I have is that they look good. 1st run in them, my knees were hurting badly, but I pushed through it for an average run. 2nd run, these shoes gave me mild shin splints, but I pushed through again for a below average time. I just ended my 3rd run in them about 1 mile in. They’re awful. My shins are burning. Wish I would’ve tried them when I bought them to fall within the ASICS 30 day trial policy. Unfortunately, I think I’m stuck with these, and I’ll never lace them up again.

Overall fit was smaller than expected. Also, the item received was not the item ordered. Although the correct model was listed on the outside of the box, the running shoe inside was a different model. I did not notice this at first glance.

I hate these shoes. The strings are so short you can barely get them tied. The backs fold down every time you put them on. Never had that trouble with GOOD shoes. Never again.

The sizing is totally different: I purchased these shoes last Spring and loved them so much that I reorder the exact same shoe in the exact same size. The shoes I now received are way too big, even though the size is the same. I even exchanged for a half a size down and the shoe is still too big.

I just bought these beginning of August- worn less than 2 months and my heel is killing me- now I’m shopping for a new pair…

Completely inaccurate width sizing! I couldn't even get it on the ball of my foot. It fit like a normal D width and even at that, somewhat narrow. I had to return them.
