Table Tennis Shoes
Table tennis shoes are built for one thing a regular trainer isn't: quick lateral movement on an indoor court, on a sole that grips without marking the floor. Our range runs from Stiga's Liner series and Butterfly's performance Lezoline line, right through to a lighter, more affordable slip-on style for casual and beginner play. Table tennis shoes and table tennis footwear both mean the same range here.

Buying guide
Table tennis shoes are built for stop-start lateral movement on an indoor court: light, breathable, and finished with a non-marking sole that grips without skidding. A running shoe, built for forward motion, doesn't give the same side-to-side control a rally needs. Table tennis shoes and table tennis footwear mean the same range here.
Performance table tennis footwear: Stiga Liner and Butterfly Lezoline
Stiga's Liner range spans the Liner II, Liner III Blue Edition and Liner IV, each on a natural rubber outsole for grip on any indoor floor. Butterfly's Lezoline line runs wider: the Unizes and Unizes II suit beginners on a grippy EVA/rubber sole, while the Gigu, Mach and flagship Levalis add thicker, shock-absorbing midsoles for longer, harder matches. Both sit within our wider Stiga and Butterfly line-ups.
Lighter, more affordable options for casual and beginner play
Not every player wants a full performance shoe. Butterfly's soft slip-on range, sized S to L rather than by shoe size, uses a breathable cotton-acrylic blend with antibacterial treatment that suits Australia's warmer months. It's a step up from an ordinary sneaker without a performance model's price or break-in, and a sensible start for a new player finding their feet in the sport. The range also includes replacement insoles and technical socks for extra comfort.
Table tennis shoes: common questions
Running shoes move you forward, not side to side, and their soles are often too grippy or too slick for an indoor court, unlike a table tennis shoe's low-cut, lateral-footwork build.
Both are dedicated, non-marking indoor court shoes. Stiga's Liner series spans three models on a natural rubber outsole; Butterfly's Lezoline line runs from entry-level all-rounders to cushioned, competition-focused models.
Sizes are listed in EU with the UK, US and Japanese equivalent shown alongside, so you can check against a shoe you already own before ordering.
Yes. Alongside the performance Stiga and Butterfly ranges, we stock a lighter, soft slip-on style sized S to L for a comfortable, affordable way to start.
Yes. Ping pong is simply the more casual name for table tennis, and the shoes built for it are identical either way.
