Ugh... "trainers"... really...? (ツ)

At least the term sneakers has a pretty interesting backstory...

Reference:
School boys of the late 1800s coined the term "sneakers" to refer to the soft-soled tennis shoes they wore that enabled them to sneak around.

Plus it also gave genesis to another pretty cool word... Sneakernet... ;)
