Asics running shoes are some of the most popular in the world, with a diehard following of customers who have remained loyal for more than 20 years, in some cases. While the Gel-Kayano and the Gel-Nimbus remain atop the chart of the brand’s best running shoes, they’re becoming more expensive as the years roll on. Thankfully, Asics also makes several budget-friendly models, and one of its best just had its price cut at Zappos by $15.
The Asics Gel-Excite 10 Running Shoes are now on sale for $70 at Zappos, a small but welcome 18% discount on their normal price of $85. These value-packed running shoes have received over 50 five-star ratings from Zappos shoppers who say they’re “a great value for the money” and are packed with “amazing arch support.” They’re available for $70 in 13 colors and come in sizes 7 to 15, but many have started to sell out now that they’re on sale

This neutral runner with a minimal 8mm heel drop comes with ample cushioning and weighs a mere 9.1 ounces. It features several of Asics’ sought-after design components, like rearfoot Gel technology and Amplifoam Plus cushioning, and it also comes with an OrthoLite sockliner, all of which combine to absorb impact without feeling like you are running on stilts the way some other max-cushioning running shoes feel. The jacquard mesh upper also ensures the shoe is light and breathable, so no matter how many miles you put on, these will keep your feet nice and breezy.
Shoppers cannot get enough of the comfort these running shoes provide. “Uncommonly good,” as one shopper put it. “Very comfortable, well-cushioned, flexible, and certainly reasonably priced…[This iteration] is pretty soft, not quite as soft as the 8 but a huge improvement over the 9.”

“After I received these shoes, I wore them immediately while working a trade show in the hopes that they would keep my feet and joints comfortable and pain-free,” another shopper said. “Mission accomplished! Best sneakers I have ever worn.”
Whether you’re looking for a great shoe for running, walking, or standing on your feet all day, allow the Asics Gel-Excite 10 to be your new go-to. With an additional markdown on an already great value buy, these shoes won’t be here long, so make sure you grab yours before sizes sell out for good.
