Note
A regular plural with a crowded singular behind it. It can mean people who sneak, or archaic drinking vessels and covered cups, but the athletic shoe is the meaning that belongs to the US, Australia, New Zealand and Atlantic Canada. The same shoe is also called a trainer. Unlike pants or glasses, the word has a true singular: one shoe is a sneaker, and a pair is sneakers.
