I vote "sneakers," because I live in America.

2"Sneaker" brings to mind Peter Sellers creeping around in some New Balance.
And that's excellent.
But I say "running shoes" or "Converse".

I used to call them all that, but this changed recently. The only "sneakers" I have are used for running, so I call them that. There is conversing in my Converse, too, so wtf.
Gym shoes. That's good stuff right there.

9I call them gym shoes. I'm not going to vote because the sneaker/trainer debate just happens to be which side of the pond you reside. Being a bit of an anglophile, I do like the sound of trainers. However, if I were to start walking around Chicago talking about buying myself a new pair of trainers....well....that would just be ridiculous.
