Today we are featuring 3 types of sport shoes and introducing the best of them: running shoes, basketball shoes and table tennis shoes.

There are a lot of established brands among running shoes, such as Nike, Asics, Saucony, Adidas, Reebok, New Balance or Puma. But if you look for the best running shoe, you can’t expect to find one shoe that deserves the best title solely. There are certain criteria that you need to look at when looking for the best shoes for running, these are stability, cushioning and motion control. We will show you some of the best. The Brooks Adrenaline GTS is perhaps the best stability running shoe that combines stability perfectly with just the right pinch of cushioning. It is a perfect fit for neutral runners and for runners who experience mild overpronation. The New Balance WR1226 Running NBX Shoe is a perfect choice for women, who are looking for shoes designed for trail running.

Basketball shoes are called sneakers, the well-known brands in this category are Nike, Adidas and Reebok. If you want to know, which are the all-time bests, just look at the list of Complex magazine (see the link below). The list is based on performance, style, and each shoe’s overall effect on sneaker culture. We will introduce some of the best on the list. The Converse Chuck Taylor is on the secondd place in the list. It became the first mass-produced basketball shoe in North America in 1917 – that was 95 years ago! Since then, over 750 million pairs have been sold in 144 countries. They first started as a basketball sneaker, but today they are worn as a casual, fashion sneaker. The top spot goes to the Air Jordan III – a sneaker associated with the legendary basketball player, Michael Jordan. Originally released in 1988, it was a groundbreaking sneaker for many reasons. It was also backed by one of the most successful advertising campaigns.

Stiga, Donic, Butterfly, Yasaka, Asics, Mizuno, Adidas and Killerspin – these are the some brands that are making special shoes for table tennis. Just about every table tennis player has different requirements in terms of grip, cushioning, support, lightness, flexibility and price, so finding the best table tennis shoe is a different task too. The shoes are frequently associated with a well-known player. For example Jan-Ove Waldner, the former Swedish olympic and world champion. The Donic Waldner Flex table tennis shoe has a grippy shock absorbing sole, breatheable material, and not too much weight. Another former world champion, Jean-Philippe Gatien prefers playing in the Yasaka Gatien De Luxe table tennis shoes, which is an upgraded model of the Gatien Pro shoes, with a new design but retaining the best features of the old model: they are very comfortable and they last long.

Young people prefer multifunctional cheaper sport shoes often. Joma is a great choice for them.  E.g. Top Flex Sala are performance indoor football trainers ideal for five-a-side and racket sports. Made with a high grip, non-marking sole, these football trainers feature the classic design, with soft leather uppers and bright colours.

Reviews help us to make a decision, then we have to test the shoes. Sizes, cut, flexibility, sole adhesion and the weight might be extremely different.
