sneak·er /ˈsnēkər/ Noun A soft shoe with a rubber sole worn for sports or casual occasions.
Low-top sneakers
Low-tops are extremely versatile, and a great replacement for ratty tennis shoes. They can easily be dressed up or down. These are often not too pricey. A few pairs, in mute colors like white or black, should cover your wardrobe and not break the bank.
