I don't exactly know what sneakers are, but for children in the UK trainers have to be the "right" brand in fashion at the time whether Nike, Reebok, Adidas or whatever so long as they're very expensive.
I only wear trainers. According to the hospital podiatrist they're the best thing invented for feet. Very well cushioned on the sole and particularly the heel, foot-shaped and they encase and support the feet properly. The amount and type of cushioning on the sole can vary. Nike did some which had air in the soles, and you could pump them up or deflate them a bit if you wanted. The hospital removes the insole that comes with the trainers and makes me extra padded and shaped ones to go in each pair I have. Different trainers are available for different activities - my husband has some specially designed for jogging which have a very deep tread and flared soles at the heel, I had some designed for aerobics which have very little tread. I just go for leather Reeboks in any style I like with well-cushioned soles and middle of the range price, but keep a pair with little cushioning in the sole for driving - I can't feel the pedals in the ones I wear for walking. I bought a pair of sandals with cushioned soles and showed the podiatrist. is comment was "Very nice, but you're not proposing to walk anywhere in them are you?" I do wear them if I'm going somewhere where trainers wouldn't look quite right.
