The Wave Drive 8 is one of the most popular table tennis shoes among professional table tennis players. The Heel Wave plate and ap+ ensure optimal cushioning and lightweight properties Anatomically moulded removable cup insoles maximise comfort and support for table tennis movements The AIRmesh upper offers breathability.
The shoes run large for sure. I wear 11.5 US which is 45 euro and 29.5 Jpn. 11 would probably fit right. I can use them, it's not that bad, but kind of disappointing. My adidas tt10 shoes (discontinued) which I used before fit me like a glove, they were lighter, more nimble. The wd8 is a bit bulky and has too much room up front. It's probably a good shoe overall, but definitely not as good as the adidas.
To start with I felt that this pair of shoes was a bit to grippy but after a few days of practice the grip "normalized". Now the grip is just perfect. The shoes are very comfortable.
Purchase these at TT Japan for $66 plus shipping. Best deal on the Web. I had been using Stiga and thought at first that the Wave 8 was heavier then I weigh them and the Wave 8 was lighter.
