  • Home run
Size: 9.5 Color: Black/Hazard Green
First off I am writing this review only to help others. I have received no compensation of any kind for it. Second off, I’ve been running since 1998 (25 years). I’m currently in my mid 40s and working towards a goal of running 3,000 miles (the distance across the continental U.S.) bit-by-bit between 40 and 50. I run 3-5 miles 3X a week, no more/no less. Since age 42 I’ve run 1700 miles. I’ve written running shoe reviews semi-professionally in the past, too. So I am pretty qualified to review a running shoe. Thirdly, my preferred brand is ASICS. I have tried a lot of shoe brands as a semi-professional reviewer because they were sent to me, but I always have come back to ASICS because they just…work. I believe the straight lasting is a lot of the reason why. Also, the tendency of the ASICS brand to put their premium technology into their budget models (GEL cushioning, for example) brings me back again and again. They just make the best affordable runners on the market. Fourthly, I have always been an advocate for budget running shoes, provided they are well-designed. I have tried the expensive ones at various times and have developed more typical running injuries in those than I have in a solid pair of reasonably-priced running shoes. Particularly, I do not like ultra-cushioned shoes. I like a low-to-the-ground natural feel when I run. In ultra-cushioned shoes, I can’t get ground-feedback when running and that’s a fail for me. It’s like running in space. It’s weird. Fifthly, and this is probably the main point, the ASICS Excite series is a favorite of mine. I have used the Excite 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, and now 9. They keep getting better. I find that they have just enough cushioning to dampen impact but not so much as to throw off my gait. I use them with my doctor-prescribed orthotics (pictured) and the combo works very well. If I were a distance runner (like a marathoner) I might need a shoe with more cushioning, but for 3-5 miles 3X a week these are absolutely ideal. ASICS has priced this model very reasonably which is great given the high-level tech used here; the GEL heel cushion plus Amplifoam midsole are superb for dampening shock from the road. The outsoles are durable too. The uppers aren’t as tough as those on the Excite 8 but it still works fine for me. Fit is on-point too. Overall for what these cost you will likely not find a better performance runner. So in summary, if you’re a regular runner/jogger and looking for a good solid shoe to use for shorter distances (up to 6 or 7 miles), look no further. These are absolutely superb and I honestly like them better than many shoes that cost twice as much or more! Update: Six months of jogging 3-5 miles 3X/week and these shoes are still going strong. Minimal tread wear, no wear to the upper, cushioning still firm and responsive. What a great value! Update 2: 9 months of jogging 3-5 miles 3X/week and my shoes are finally worn out. The cushioning no longer has enough “spring” for running, although I can use the shoes for walking or errands for a few more months. On to the next pair of the same model! I’ll say that most of my running shoes last 6-8 months of regular running regardless of the price, making these Excites a super performer. The uppers are still intact and the outsoles have minimal wear, which is surprising. My experience with the ASICS Excite 9 overall has been extremely positive. I will say that these are my choice for runners as long as they are being made. I see that there is a version 10 of the Excite out now too, which I’ll have to try in the future. ... show more

  • Comfort and Style
I love the fit and comfort of ASICS; for Christmas I bought two pair for my husband one Excite 7 and one Excite 9. He is a Brooks man and refused to wear ASICS…until he tried his Christmas gifts. I have converted him! He’s not a runner; he just likes to wear running shoes because they are comfortable and stylish. So, I bought a second pair of Gel Excite 9s and he Loves them! He says the fit is perfect. He pulls out the insoles and adds his orthotics. He says they don’t squeeze his forefoot and his toes have plenty of room to spread out; he has a medium width foot but too many other shoes feel tight on him. He says they let his feet breathe, but I already know that being a big fan of Asics. And he says the design of the shoe sole stabilizes his feet and add cushion. As an added bonus, the bottoms of the shoes don’t collect pebbles that can be dragged into the house and fall off into the carpet. Some shoe tread designs allow for small pebbles to be lodged in between the tread; we live in AZ where grass is scarce and crushed granite is everywhere. The materials used to make these shoes are quality, the construction is solid and lastly, the color combinations are pretty cool. ... show more

  • The long search was worth it!
Size: 12 Color: Oyster Grey/Black
I read a lot of editorial reviews of good sneakers for active seniors. Naturally, everybody had their favorites. So I looked for ones that were recommended several times. The Asics were. And I'm very happy so far. Perfect fit, ample toe box, and very comfortable. The fact that they're very reasonably priced was icing. ... show more

  • Order half size down
These shoes are very comfortable, but they run big. My last pair of asics was size 10, so I got these in a size 10. They are at least half a size bigger. My feet slide around in them a little, which is slightly annoying. It was my fault for not returning them for a 9 1/2.

  • Exceeded expectations at a reasonable price
Size: 10 Color: Deep Ocean/Amber
After coming from years and years of discount brand "running shoes" I am very happy. Shoes came true to size and are extremely comfortable. They have held up well to daily treadmill use and casual outings. At the tail end of summer they have seemed to breathe well and have not become uncomfortably hot even with prolonged use. Actually invested in a second pair to have the versatility for outings and daily life and a cleaner pair around the house and on the treadmill. Not a fan of tracking whatever I walk through outside all over the house. Both pairs look great and seem to be a high quality material fit and finish. Shoes are grippy on treadmill belts without feeling like I'm rooted in place. TLDR I might have low standards from previous cheap pairs but I love these and now own 2 pair and I'm not even fancy like that. ... show more

  • Love These Shoes!
One of my favorite shoes for traction, breathable, comfortability! As long as I’ve ran xc/track in college, before and after graduating. These shoes easily rank best for quick, intense workouts and even for 5-6 milers no doubt! As a current boxer, I even love sparring in them! Used them till the holes on top got so big it couldn’t hold my foot in no more😂 ... show more

  • Comfortable!!!
Size: 10 Color: Lake Drive/White
Asic never disappoints with comfort. Light weight shoes and great for walking and running!! Bough 4 pairs of these babies and 3 for the wife. We walk 3 miles minimum a day so we wear a different pair every day.
