Tips on choosing Shoes for Table Tennis (part 2)


By: Kasmono Monex, a fan of healthy living



Shoes are an important support tool for accelerating the movement of a player's feet. Table tennis shoes with flat cushions are needed so that our feet are stable in their movements. Flat cushions are able to support the body stably, so they don't wobble easily when playing table tennis.

For beginners who have horses that are not yet good, it can be suggested to wear shoes with a rather high cushion. This is of course with the consideration that high-cushioned shoes will be softer on the feet, thus reducing the risk of foot injury for the wearer, but they have the disadvantage of being less stable when used and rather heavy. This will slightly interfere with acceleration.

Apart from not only based on the size of the foot, the width and height of the instep (as in review part 1), it is also necessary to pay attention to the stability of the shoe in each part, especially on the arch of the foot, choose one with flat pads so it doesn't wobble when we jump!

To produce numbers in table tennis, we need to move quickly to hit the ball. We will often move back and forth, from left to right, then stop in a swinging position. Often the direction of the ball that comes is not as predicted so that our bodies are unstable when we want to hit the ball. With flat bearings, our feet are more stable in their stance.
