Ok. But what size feet do you have. I have not found any table tennis shoes above a 13 (usa size). Or a 46 asian size. Having size 14w feet would love to know where also.

I'm 6'3" 200 lbs. wear a size 12. I like the Yonex badminton shoes which go up to size 13.
Support is good for a light, ground hugging shoe with rounded gum sole edges. But still on concrete floors I will play in
Adidas classic Superstar shoe with the thicker soles, and rubber toe, very good support if not the very lightest or very best
for agility. I am seldom accused of being agile anyway.

Thanks. They won't fit me but looks like a great option foer my 17 year old who wears 13s. He is a true defender who moves more in a point then I do in a match.

I guess Butterfly and Asics make the best tt shoes these days.

I use Butterfly Energyforce One, its VERY good, but its out of production now, but stores still have stocks I guess. Ive also tried Asics Gel Blade, which is ergonomic and good, but not very grippy. And also tried Adidas NewTTennium, which is quite nice but has too hard sole in my opinion for a tt shoe, but I guess its stable. I like soft soles myself though, for better balance.

I dont know what in specific would suite a big guy? Extra support? In that case Id recommend Asics for sure, not for slippery floors though.

Best tt shoe I ever had was a nike soft sole, which was actually quite cheap, had it not only for tt, but also indoor football, handball, tennis etc... and still lasted me five years.

Too bad Nike dont make tt shoes no more, do they? Maybe badminton shoes?

I will add also that Butterfly energyforce one and three are big and wide in sizes. Stiga shoes are also often big and wide.

If u want cheaper shoes, I wouldnt be afraid to try Donic, Yasaka, Dawei, Kokutaku either. Dont know about size or form there though.

Good luck finding something good.

The most important thing is the padding. You can't use low profile, hard shoes. You'll wreck your joints.

I'm 6'5" 250 lbs +/- 10 lbs at any time. I wear size 15, and absolutely love my shoes. Light, Supportive, seemingly Durable, and ridiculously grippy to the floor. Asics Volleyball Shoes. I like the Asics cause their shoe sizes are super consistent, so when I order them online I know what I am getting. I have played Basketball, and Tennis at fairly high level, and these shoes that I have grip the floor far better than any shoes I have ever worn.
