    It depends on what your using the shoe for! If your a runner then a running shoe If your just going to the gym a crosstrainer If they are just an everyday shoe I would call them just shoes

    Sneakers.

    I grew up in the Midwest.

    My English friends call them trainers.

    Some other friends just call them shoes.
