Silly arguement.....

I've always called them sneakers. Anything else implies some actual activity is intended, and that would be a lie!

We always said "soft drink" for pop. I call it pop now in Canada.

As for bumpers are they Converse brand??

I haven't the foggiest idea where the name came from,I don't know if they are branded.

I voted sneakers, but I usually just call them shoes.

Up here, in good old Saskatchewan, we call them running shoes. depending on style, we call some skater shoes or tenis shoes or cross trainers, just every day runners are running shoes.

Tennis Shoes. The only other thing I call them is shoes.
