sneakers

Rubber-soled footwear

Sneakers are soft-soled athletic shoes, typically with rubber soles and canvas or leather uppers.

The name reflects their quiet footfall—you can sneak in them.

In American English, sneakers covers everything from running shoes to basketball shoes to casual canvas styles.

British English prefers trainers for the same footwear.
