📏 How to Measure Your Feet Properly
Step-by-Step Measurement
- Measure in the evening - feet are largest then
- Wear your usual socks - the ones you'll play in
- Stand on a piece of paper against a wall
- Mark your heel against the wall
- Mark your longest toe (usually big toe)
- Measure the distance between marks in cm
- Add 0.5cm for comfort and movement
Pro Tips for Table Tennis Shoes
- Measure both feet - use the larger measurement
- Consider toe room - you need space for quick movements
- Account for swelling - feet expand during long matches
- Check width too - table tennis requires lateral stability
- Remember brand differences - see warnings above

Table Tennis Shoe Sizing FAQ
Q: Why do some table tennis shoe brands fit differently?
Different manufacturers use different sizing standards. European brands like Stiga often use tighter fits, while international brands like Joola follow more standard sizing. Always check our brand-specific guidance above.
Q: Should table tennis shoes fit tight or loose?
Table tennis shoes should fit snugly but not tight. You need enough room for your toes to move freely during quick lateral movements, but not so loose that your foot slides around inside the shoe.
Q: Can I use regular athletic shoes for table tennis?
While possible, dedicated table tennis shoes offer superior grip, lighter weight, and better lateral support specifically designed for the sport's unique movement patterns. Professional players always use specialized footwear.
Q: What if I'm between two sizes?
If you're between sizes, consider your brand choice and foot width. For Stiga/Lefus shoes, go with the larger size. For Joola, Donic, GEWO, XPD & Loki shoes, choose based on whether you prefer a snugger or roomier fit. Remember, we offer size exchanges if needed.
Q: Are all sizes available in every shoe model?
No, not all shoe models are made in all sizes. Some styles only go up to EU 45 as the largest size, while others may not start until EU 38. Always check the individual product page for specific size availability.
