Is Tennis shoe good for Table Tennis?

I recently purchase some Asics Gel Rocket 4. They have great support.

Thanks guys. The Asics looks good and reasonable priced

+1 on Asics Gel Rocket4. I use it for hiking too. Ascis Gel Domain is the higher model. Use code "IPFLT447" for $15 off $60 footlocker.

Good TT shoes are featherlight, low to ground, and have rounded gum rubber sole edges to facilitate unobstructed lateral shuffling.

Just buy a pair already instead of waffling over volleyball/badminton/soccer shoes.  :-)  You can buy a gel sole insert for inside your shoes if you need higher arch.

I play tennis too, and can tell you that tennis shoes are designed to slide under heavy lateral movement so that you can slide into a shot and not roll your ankle.  They do not have enough grip for TT.  Stick with gum rubber soles for TT.

+1.  A pair of TT shoes cost about 1 sheet of rubber, and last up to 4 times longer.
