I use ASICS gel rocket in wide. Not ANY true table tennis shoe in EE or EEEE (my preference) that I know of.

I have been using Nittaku Moving Aero which is a cobranded Yonex wide size table tennis shoes. It’s really comfortable with excellent stability and grip

Hi mocker88, I notice from Mizuno website selling Wave Medal 7 wide. Have you try this before?I have semi-wide feet (I think). Stiga Liner and Mizuno Wave Drive are too narrow for my feet. Now I use LOKI - Arthur shoes. Perfect for me anyway and a litte bit wider as well

i use barefoot shoes too but be warned, if you've never worn barefoot shoes, its most likely not safe to just go straight into wearing this and playing table tennis. You have to build your foot and ankle strenght before you can safely wear barefoot shoes and perform the lateral movements required of table tennis.
If you want to seriously consider barefoot shoes, which are in fact the best shoes for people with wide feet, let me know and i can guide you through the transition process. it will take many months but it would be completely worth it, IMO.

Hi. No sorry. I've only tried Wave Medal Rise, and this one is really nice for me.

I've tried badminton shoes. Hated them because the soles are way too hard and the center of gravity is too high.
I use the gel-rocket II, based on extensive research. And based on using them for several months now, I can say there aren't any good wide shoes for indoor court sports. Fortunately I can kind of tune out my feet while I'm playing.
The angle is good! this shoes are very nice and durable. They are made by a badminton company, but they are made for table tennis.
I'm talking about the Nittaku Moving Aero (they are done by Yonex)

They look very similar to the Yonex badminton shoes I tried. Sole were very hard. Not as grippy as TT shoes.
If you can get these I highly recommend.

Sometimes they carry wide sizes. You just have to watch when they do. But it's the same model.
Also ASICS are normally slightly wider than other brands.

I'm using way of wade 808 4 ultra for my 2e feet. Some break in was needed, but they are really great, especially for the money. They are basketball/voleyball shoes, but i found them great for TT because of amazing laterall stability and midsole construction that gives amazing court feeling while giving much needed shock absobrtion. I also want to try SPO player 1, they also looks prety interesting for my preferences.
Most tt shoes have really little shock absorbtion and i feel it while playing 2+ hours. Also a lot shoes from TT equipment brands use outdated rubber compounds and have overall not so good quality. For more classic TT preference i would use something from Yonex, Li-ning, Mizuno or Asics.
Some time ago i made a little guide for my friends in TT community about shoes, so maybe you will find it interesting. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E3nXwaYouoPcjhrhpbHG6gngBxELe1pAygw2L1qpBmA/edit?usp=sharing
You can translate it with AI, it would not be ideal, but probably good enough.
