Trainer Day

[underused]

Name these shoes:

Are they sneakers? Or trainers? Are they kicks?
Are they sand shoes, sannies, or jumpers?
Are they running shoes? Rubber dollies? Tennies or tenners or takkies?
Plimsolls or sneaks?
Daps? Gutties?

We always called them runners.
What did you call them as a kid? What do you call them now?
