Hi Frendy,
I think a light and grippy shoe are the keys.
Let's see what others think about good shoes.

Choosing a Table Tennis Bat
Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.

I personally use Vibram Five Fingers to play table tennis. You may or may not be interested in this type of shoe because of the 'new demand' it places on some of your muscles, but I believe the extreme lightness and flexibility allow you complete freedom for any of your shots. Of course, the grip is top notch as well, perhaps too good at times.

According to this article, http://www.breaking2000.com/table-tennis-shoes/, it depends on the type of floor you're currently playing.
Table tennis shoes are designed to be light and grippy for tournament floor, so they are not too grippy. But most of us play on concrete, tile, parquet, wood floors, so they may be too slippery.
There are a lot of shoes that also have good grip. A lot of the indoor sports shoes are also good for Table Tennis.
I've been using the Asics indoor shoes and they are really good.

I've used "Asics ATTACK BLADELYTE3" and "Mizuno WAVE DRIVE A"
They are both good enough，I personally prefer Asics.

I tried some cheap dhs ones with weights for training sometimes. My footwork improved a lot quicker. But I do not recommend that for competition.

I have found that my indoor Futbol (Soccer) boots (shoes) work very well for table tennis on hardwood floors..
Light, just the right amount of grip, and affordable.

I recently started playing table tennis again and I'm really getting into it. I have played my entire life but only garage level stuff. Anyway. I wear Vibram Five Fingers every chance I get so I started wearing them while playing. Extremely light which allows for better mobility. Those toes come in handy. You just gotta get used to them. It's basically being barefoot with the luxury of having a rubber sole to keep your feet protected. Just my 2 cents

Im using a Nike's Multicourt 10, it has a nice grippy surface and perfect balance point, is not the lighter shoes you can get, but for the price and quiality they are a nice option to buy.
i trained for years volleyball and handball and i considerated most important the grippy and balance point against weight. cause with a less of training your legs get more powerfull and the weight of any shoes doesnt matter to much, but to play you ALWAYS need a shoes that give you a perfect position to hot the ball in the best way.
