So I saw this tweet this morning and it looks like most of America calls trainers (athletic footwear) tennis shoes?
This isn't correct is it?

Trainers is the best naming. Calling them all Tennis shoes is really dumb.
from southern california, i've only referred to sneakers as sneakers.
have heard tennis shoes though, from older people like teachers
i dont think i know anyone who refers to sneakers as tennis shoes. most of the time i just say shoes, but if im being specific i'll use sneakers.I'm from southern California and I've never heard anyone call them sneakers.
Yes, most of North American calls tennis shoes "tennis shoes."
My neighborhood calls them feet gloves.It's funny because I thought Americans called them sneakers...my mind is blown
But why?
Because the type of shoe was created for tennis players to use.

What do you guys and gals call a pair of trainers then?

I like trainers too, but I like it's more a British term? I've never actually been around anyone who's used that term.
I mean, "soccer" is just an old Britishism that we never dropped.I dunno man, why do we call football soccer and make up something else to call football?
We Americans are a strange bunch.
In Spain it's just "tenis". Some weirdos call them "deportivas" or "zapatillas".
