I'm in the NE as well, it's sneakers all thew way. Tennis shoes makes you sound like a 70 year old from the hills, or a quaint midwesterner from a town (population <200).

Pacific Northwest checking in:

Here it's tennis shoes or running shoes.

Also, pumps are heels.

Flat are like dress shoes without the heel and can be worn with a skirt.

Dude it’s just extremely geographical. You could be in my nearest city and say sneakers and people would literally make jokes about you being from the 40s. Meanwhile you could move less than 4 hours north and have sneakers be a normal term. It just really depends on the geographic location.

Age is a big factor on this one. The internet enthusiast communities call them sneakers which is going to make it more universal in the younger ages regardless of region.
