I guess what part of the country you are from words can take on different meaning. My co-workers are always telling me they can tell I grew up on the east coast since I call athletic shoes sneakers and they call them tennis shoes. Tennis shoes are athletic footwear that is specifically to play tennis in.

over here the correct term would be trainers although i tend to refer to them as gutties
