These are by vibram,  essentially 'running shoes',  on the expensive side.

Looks unusual!
 
I just ordered a pair of Vibram KSO five finger shoes with the intent of using them for table tennis (and running) 
 
I'm curious if anyone else has played tt in five finger shoes.

I was pretty skeptical when they first came on the scene but after talking to some serious athletes I've decide to give them a try

I know a guy who swore by them for TT.  I have not brought myself to try on a pair and I'm a fan of weird shoes, too.  

I usually grab a lightweight pair of Nike Tennis shoes from a Nike outlet.  Light tennis shoes seem to work well for me and they hold up well.  My latest pair are Lunarlite Vapor Tours at a third of the price.

I ended up having to send the KSO model back due to a bad fit, and now wear the Komodo Sport LS as seen in my avatar. They are my favorite shoe... for table tennis or otherwise. Played in them during my last table tennis tournament. They really are fantastic.
 
I also ran 4 miles in them the other night. I really can't recommend them enough. (and no, I don't work for Vibram or any shoe company or business which sells shoes)

I wasn't sure what my wife would think of the idea, but she immediately jumped on board and also got the komodo sport ls model. She enjoys running in them more than any shoes prior.

I got mine from rei.com, but citysports.com has them on sale right now... and it's rare to see them below msrp

oh, regarding sizing, both of my feet measured exactly to one of the sizes on vibram's sizing chart (42), however, I found that 43's are perfect for me

Indoor soccer shoes will probably be lightest and get you closest to the ground. Volleyball shoes are better on the knees while maintaining good lateral traction. I really like my Nike soccer shoes which were less than half the price of the best Butterfly shoes. Asics makes the Bty Energy force III shoes, so you could save the dough and get some Asic indoor soccer shoes.

Not necessarily. The Ultra-Lite types are notorious for this, yes, but traditional full leather indoor shoes like the Tiempo series from Nike have plently of cushioning.

By the way, I've found the cheapest place to buy indoor soccer shoes to be www.prodirectsoccer.com

I currently wear the Joma topflex indoor soccer shoes. Very light and nice shoes. The downside is that it's not a very durable shoes.

I've used two pair of Adidas Indoor soccer shoes. Just slightly narrow for me; otherwise, very solid.

These Diadora's should be on my doorstep shortly.
 



I know this is an old thread, but wanted to know where you got those Diadora shoe's? I really like the look of them.
