Yes but I checked the prices and it's not big difference, asics are like 10 € cheaper than Butterfly :/

Where I looked the price in US Dollars the price was a $35.00 difference. That would be a 25 Euro difference. But that was not really the point I was making. It is the same exact sole. That is all. I don't know about the rest of the shoe. Butterfly is not hiding that Asics makes their Table Tennis Shoes. But I would still rather get them from the company that makes them if I can.

Online shopping is weird. You never know how much will you pay untill you buy something. Sometimes shipping is so expensive, and sometimes like I don't even count it.
I agree with you and thanks for informations but I think I will stay on mizuno shoes for long time..

Yep. Mizuno are good. Also note, they are not shoes by a table tennis company. They are good.

But, for $50.00 USD I am very happy with my Nike indoor soccer shoes. They play great. I can't really imagine anything that is truly that much better and they cost half the price of good Table Tennis shoes. It is true that the original price of what I bought was $75.00 they were on sale without me even realizing that they were on sale. But the fact remains, for the price of a good pair of table tennis shoes, I could have got two pairs of these Nike indoor soccer shoes. I like the fact that, for that much less money, these work just as well as anything I have tried.

And the Nike indoor soccer shoes that I got are really great. No complaints. Especially since I paid $50.00.

Here is what they look like:

They work really well, they are strong and well designed. A little less breathable than some Table Tennis shoes because the upper is almost all leather. But they perform really well and are very comfortable.

It is almost a year since I started using these. They still are working great. Very durable and they do the job. I can move well in them for table tennis footwork.

I can tell you all firsthand Carl had zero problems moving to the spot. Footware is not a problem for Carl.

Myself, I pop into the Nexy HQ and get these once a YEAR, yes once a year, use daily 3-5 hours, they hold up that long and I think they retail for $50 ish.

These are on sale there $20ish and I had a set of these, they were good for 6 months daily use no problem.

Hi! What would you recommend for a beginner table tennis player? I could just go to shopping mall but I don't like to rely solely on sales advisor opinion ;)

Back in the 70's I always used Asics indoor volleyball shoes - because they were the lightest shoes I could find and I loved them. At my age my movement and footwork is pretty much gone so it is less important so I wear a pretty standard (cheap) tennis shoe - or maybe it is because I am too lazy to get out and buy some Asics. LOL
