[quote=jdunford;704867]I know... it's just... "sneakers" is an American word. You almost never hear it in Canada. Here, they're just "running shoes", even if they're actually "basketball shoes" or "tennis shoes" or "cross-trainers"... everybody here calls them "running shoes".
I think I said "sneakers" once in 1998 and received a strange glance.

LOL, I hear ya. I don't call them sneakers either. "Kicks" is what we used to call them back in the day, but even that is un-cool to say nowadays. Even "un-cool" is "un-cool", or "wack", or "buggin'".
