Silly arguement.....

I call them tennis shoes; Jerry calls them sneakers.........what do you call them?

Trainers..................

I use both interchangably.

I know, I'm such a fence sitter.

a fence sitter huh?

Usually I call them runners....not that I run in them, but they are running shoes.

Yup, just can't make up my mind what they are.
I'm that way about the whole soda or pop? question too.

I'm with Susan - trainers all the way

Tennis Shoes. I think it all depends on where you are from. In the South(U.S) A soft drink is a coke or a soda no matter what it is. In the north(u.s) they call it pop.

Sneakers. Though I think I have another name I use and I can't for the life of me figure out what it is.

I don't play tennis, so what would I want with tennis shoes? Dh calls them running shoes.

It depends where in the north, I'm from NY and we say Soda, but my cousins from western NY say pop. Makes no sense to me!

Notice a national trend here???? We English girls stick together , Trainers for me too

Sneakers here for me. And its soda here in Maine always.

Tennis Shoes

I don't think I've ever called them Sneakers?

-even some Canadians might agree with you.

I will proberly be the only person here who calls them ..... Takkies!

It's a south african thing.

I voted for tennis shoes, but really, I don't say it that way. It comes out as "tenna-shoes." I think I was about 12 when I realized they were "tennis shoes" because I can't remember hearing many people actually pronounce it that way. I hate tennis! LOL! Sometimes I call them tennies.

I believe I call them both tennis shoes and sneakers... not at the same time of course

Actually though, I think I just end up calling them by the name of the brand. If I ask my fiance to grab them out of the closet I say "Bring me my Adidas NOW"

Just kidding, I ask nicely!
