I play table tennis at the club in the gym, these shoes are for regular tennis which is not bad but the footwork is similar but faster in table tennis. The hall floor is not always clean and people slip while playing. Unlike other racquets that have a professional soft surface. I played with these shoes for a while and was happy with the results. Great traction! Even on floors that are anything but perfect, the grip is above average! The insole is good, good enough not to have to buy an additional insole to put on the original to make the impact soft enough. Overall I am very happy with these sneakers!
