Hahaha- funny post @cheriere !
I’ve always said sneakers. 😆

There's a Google map that shows "sneakers" is googled more than "tennis shoes" nationwide. 

If you look at the map posted earlier, deep, deep, deep red is highly regional.  Many of the "red" areas are light or pinkish. 

Google showed only 1 State where "Tennis Shoes" prevailed:Mississippi. 

Interesting.  I wonder why this is?

Checkin' in from Philadelphia.  Sneakers 100 percent. Sometimes just sneaks. When I was a kid, I remember hearing from someone somewhere the word tennis shoes and for a long time I honestly thought that tennis shoes were shoes specifically worn while playing tennis.

None of the above

Athletic shoes or running shoes because what I wear are made for running.

My parents are southerners = tennis shoes

Siblings & I grew up in the northeast = sneakers & bo-bos.

@They CallMe MRWILKES yes yes and yes 😊

[MalibuFox]

then there's the pocketbook/purse question 😃

[Imaoldhippie]

I have used these terms some, tennies, tennie runners, sneaks, tennis shoes, but rarely if ever sneakers.  

BTW, Im from Ohio.

@Mz iMac   I remember out in California people called them tennis shoes too.  But, I love the term Bo Bo's, that's cute!  I'd never heard it before.❤️

@cheriere  I've always said "Tenna- shoes"😅
