We called them "gym shoes".  Girls' gym shoes were white (and, if I recall
correctly, low cut like oxfords).  Boy's gym shoes were black with white
soles and a white circle on the ankle, and ankle high, like baby shoes or
work shoes.  
I had to wear boy's gym shoes, hence my uncertainty as to the exact nature
of girl's shoes.  I forget whether the girls' shoes were too narrow or
whether they bumped on my anklebone.
