I say sneakers but everyone here says gym ghoes. I was born in Philly and even though I've spent the majority of my life in Chicago, I'm still holding on to my east coast roots.

People please:
Tennis shoes are for playing Tennis
Gym shoes are for gym class or working out and
Sneakers are for sneaking around....I'm just kiddin' 
NYC - We call them sneakers...although I have heard our youth refer to them as "sneaks" or "kicks".

i'm from and residing in philly and it and always was sneakers. when i was at school in dc, they called them tennis shoes and it irked the hell out of me. and i've never heard gym shoes. tennis shoes were and are the sneakers that you play tennis in or the little white KEDS that girls use to rock with tennis skirts or capris.
