Subject: sneakers



Is the "sneaker"-"tennis shoe" distinction purely regional? Do some

people use both with a different meaning attached to each? I come from

Phila., and I used to use only the term "sneaker", but out here in

Boulder, Colorado, it seems that "tennis shoe" is used exclusively. Any

insight?
