Recommended Table Tennis Shoes

[BlackCat510]

Can anyone give any advice on good table tennis shoes to use? I am a size 8, if that matters.

I am a young player and a penholder, so I want shoes that will give me the ability to move quickly, particularly from side to side, without being uncomfortable or bad for my feet (as I have heard some shoes can be). I currently use regular running trainers, which aren’t ideal.

Any information at all would be greatly appreciated

Mizuno make the best table tennis shoes in my opinion.
I have the wave drive neo in blue. Its is very comfortable and very reliable. What every you choose never go for Stiga... [h1] [/h1]

If you want something cheap and good, I recommend Kawasaki badminton shoes for $30 on Aliexpress.

I use Yasaka shoes but almost any indoor shoes will do.

I received a pair of Mizuno wave medal 6 shoes today to replace my old hi-tec squash shoes , which I have worn a hole in the sole of!
The Mizuno ones are a bit lighter, the colours match my shirt, and they feel really comfortable but they cost more than twice as much as the hi-tec ones!
I think the Mizuno ones are slightly better, but definitely not twice as good.+ I have just lost the first two singles I’ve played whilst wearing them though so maybe not a great investment after all 🤣

Mizuno Wave Drive 8 - best table tennis shoes hands down.

Just get them and never have to worry about it ever again.

oh whyyy I am using Stiga Liner III and it's a really good one, feels more comfortable than my previous Mizuno Wave Drive 8

Some comments are funny to read when you actually look at the Wave Drive 6 and Liner shoes and their soles are identical, in fact many other brands use the same shoe construction with a slightly different style of top part.
A wave drive 6 is like 100EUR, I've seen basically the same shoe with TSP branding for 50EUR. I know which I would pick.
BTW for a long time the CNT Lining shoes had a wave drive 6 or 8 sole under them too.

I used to play in a club that was sponsored by Stiga so i always managed to get them cheap and i would brake like 5 of them every year. But since i switched to mizuno, i bought first a cheap one and had it for 1,5 years and then i bought the wave drive neo and i bought them by ttex at SOC 2018 by ttex and still today they look brand new. So maybe Stiga got better idk, it was long ago i used their stuff but even tho i got them cheaper i didn't like the rubbers, blades...

Stiga has this old school feeling to their products, their designing is not as modern as other brands (for example Xiom, Butterfly, Nittaku), but I feel like their products are very solid

One more vote for Mizuno. I have wide feet and shoes from TT brands are often too narrow for me. Mizuno TT shoes are by default a bit wider.
Tried to Wave Drive, however they don't provide enough support and personally, the Wave Medal are by far my favorite TT shoes.

I use my Mizuno Morelia indoor soccer shoes, a bit pricey but worth every dollar.
