Hi all, Do you know any good table tennis shoes with a grippy sole? The floor in the gym where I practice is a bit slippery and I feel that the lack of stability is throwing my strokes off balance - can't really support them with your body when you're ice-skating. Thanks

Mizuno, Asics and Butterfly shoes are all pretty good. ------------- BTY Viscaria 90g DHS Hurricane 3 NEO, 39/2.1 BTY Tenergy 05 1.9 http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=62263" rel="nofollow - My Feedbacks |

I am using the Li Ning Badminton shoes (Amazon: LI-NING Men Saga Lightweight Badminton Shoes Breathable Professional Sport Shoes AYTM085) and they work well. I had to order them 1 size bigger (10 instead of 9) since I have wide feet. So 10 works better for me. ------------- Yinhe 980XX, DHS Hurricane 3 Neo, Nittaku Wallest 1.0mm sponge. |

I am just wondering. Why is the floor slippery? Is it a wooden floor that hasn't been cleaned properly? I ask because if it's dust or too much floorwax, new shoes won't solve the problem. Most times a floor clean up or simply wetting the sole of your shoes solves the immediate issue. ------------- Blade: Darker Speed90 Rubber Fh and Bh DHS Hurricane 3, 39/38deg Delusion is an asset |

If you can’t get actual table tennis shoes, I would recommend buying Astro turf trainers (the ones field hockey players use). They have very grippy soles designed to stop you sliding on a wet, slippery Astro, I find them grippier than normal trainers but I don’t know about table tennis shoes. Astros look more grippy. Maybe you should by ice skates  ------------- Blade: Xiom Power Hinoki (J-pen) Fh: Nittaku Fastarc G1 (Red, 2.0mm) |
