So many people find it hard to differentiate the difference between this two..hopefully this write will help shed more light on the difference between the two...

What are Sneakers

Sneakers originated from the US in the late 1800s, but Keds, a popular company to date, was the first to mass produce the canvass-top sneaker in 1917. The term came about when it
was used to refer to a pair of shoes which made the wearer stealthily walk in any place without any noise at all, hence, to ‘sneak’ in, unnoticed.

The British came up with the ‘Plimsoll,’ which is the British equivalent of the term ‘sneaker.’ Like any athletic shoes, this type of footwear is made with a flexible sole, made of rubber or any synthetic material, and the upper part is made of canvas.


What are Trainers

So now that we have given you a definite description to picture a pair of sneakers, a pair of trainers are, essentially, the slang version of the term training shoes. From the term itself, you can easily distinguish the type of athletic shoes that would fit this category. This is why whether you think of running, aerobics, weight-lifting, and many more activities, that certain look that would befit trainers would fall into this
category.


what is the difference between trainers
and sneakers?


Essentially it is the look that would differentiate one over the other. A canvas-topped athletic shoe will be classified as a pair of sneakers and anything that would be designed more to the specific sport or activity would be classified as trainers. If you see runners, you would notice that the design of their ‘rubber shoes’ or athletic
shoes would be more focused on improving the performance of the individual wearing them. Sneakers are considered to be more fashionable.
The price range for either athletic shoe would
also vary, as trainers are designed to be more apt to the purpose of such shoes, rather than its look and physical design.

Thanks for reading..
