Many table tennis players spend a lot of time selecting the perfect frame and rubbers. But often, an equally crucial piece of equipment, the shoes, is greatly underrated!
The speed of movement, the agility to twist and turn in all directions, demands specific features from table tennis shoes, which casual or running shoes simply don't offer. Regular soles slow you down; cushioning is essential, but not too much. Quick acceleration is a must for the fastest racket sport! Also, the pivot points found on almost all quality table tennis shoes ensure you can move in every direction required.
Besides pivoting, grip is vital. Without it, you might slide, making it difficult to position yourself for the next shot. And of utmost importance: the shoes should be as lightweight as possible. The reasons are obvious!
Andro, in collaboration with a Japanese footwear manufacturer, designed a shoe based on these combined requirements. This creation was a massive hit in Japan, becoming the country's top-selling table tennis shoe: The Andro Cross Step! It possesses all the aforementioned features, including a removable insole and inserts for ventilation and moisture-wicking.
We at SportEurope are thrilled about this news. We believe it's a top-tier shoe that we're eager to recommend. Given the numerous positive feedback from our customers, we continue to promote it with enthusiasm...
