athletic shoe
Trainer for running
An athletic shoe is footwear designed for sports, exercise, or physical activity, featuring cushioning, support, and flexible soles suited to movement.
The term encompasses running shoes, basketball shoes, tennis shoes, and cross-trainers, though in casual speech people often use *sneakers*, *trainers* (British), or *tennis shoes* interchangeably regardless of the specific sport.
I need to pick up some new athletic shoes before the marathon.
