Hi Frendy,

Just make sure you take your good shoes off before going outside.  If you wear your shoes out quickly it probably means you are moving well.

About the place, where i must put it ? Can i just put it into the box when buy the shoes ?
Alois Rosario

Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 11 years ago

Yes that will be fine or find a cloth bag that you can put them in.  That is less bulky and easier to transport around.

Is it best to always wipe the dust when finished use it? As it'll stick to the outer sole if i don't wipe it
Alois Rosario

Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 11 years ago

Just on a damp cloth will be fine.

Anyway, the floor where i'm training is a dusty floor and not slippy so what kind og shoes should i use ? The same one or just use the other shoes and keep the table tennis one only for the match ?
Alois Rosario

Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 11 years ago

Use your Table Tennis shoes, because it is important that you have the same feel.

DHS Lover

DHS Lover Posted 11 years ago

yeah and i think by always use it will make the shoes bigger as well
but i think that dusty floor will kill the grip faster right ? or just the same ?

DHS Lover

DHS Lover Posted 11 years ago

so, what do you think about playing on that dusty hard cement floor ? i think it'll make the grip die faster rather on the slippery wooden floor... if yes, how to make it still durable ?

Alois Rosario

Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 11 years ago

There is no answer to that.  They will wear out faster on the cement floor.

DHS Lover

DHS Lover Posted 11 years ago

what about ceramic floor ?

so do you have any tips for me ? yeah... you know that shoes is quite expensive and i might not have a lot of money to re-buy the shoes

please for any advice...

I practice in my club 5 days, one day on ceramics floor and the others on the cement floor...

Alois Rosario

Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 11 years ago

If you are concerned about the cost, then use your other shoes when practicing on the cement.  It will be a different feel so not as effective.  The ceramic floor should not be as harsh on the shoes.

DHS Lover

DHS Lover Posted 11 years ago

So is it still good to play on the ceramic floor ? Anyway, many people said that there're 2 types of cement floor, the hard cement and the soft cement they said that the soft one just take the same effect just like the ceramics is it true ?
