Die meisten von uns werden sich an diese schwarzen Gummi-Canvas-Trainer erinnern, die Sie in PE-Klassen der Grundschule getragen haben, aber es könnte Sie überraschen, zu erfahren, dass das, was Sie sie genannt haben, nicht das ist, was alle anderen getan haben.
Ich nannte sie „Plimsolls“, ebenso wie die meisten Menschen in Südostgland und in den East Midlands, wobei das Wort in Norfolk verwendet wurde, wo 91% den Begriff verwenden. Aber im Nordwesten Englands und in den West Midlands werden sie normalerweise als „Pumps“ bezeichnet, während viele im Westland und Südwales sie als „Daps“ bezeichnen.
Schottland hat eine breite Palette von Begriffen für den Schulhalle -Trainer, darunter Sandschuhe (25%des Schotsgebrauchs), Fitnessschuhe (23%) und Gutties (9%).
Finden Sie heraus, wo die Leute dieselbe Semester verwenden, die Sie für Schulleinwand -Trainer hier gemacht haben: https://yougov.co.uk/society/articles/52768-plimsolls-pumps-or-somthethethethelse-what-do-britons-call-school-canvas-trainers

I was in south-mid-Wales, can confirm we called them daps.
You should crosspost this to r/CasualUK
When I was in School, 1970’s. Lancashire was Pumps, Gloucestershire was Daps.
Explains why for us in Solihull it was both Pumps and Plimsolls depending on who said the word
In Scotland they also they also call hunting knives and broken bottles „gutties“.
Gym shoes is the only thing I understand here.
School canvas trainers? Seems like too many words to still cause confusion.
Naming things is always controversial in Northern Ireland, understandable for that to have been left off this survey.
My dad was from Somerset and called them daps. With a heavy lean on the A.
We called our Daps, Dapper Dans!
I do enjoy when doing a YouGov survey you can tell when they’ve stuck a question on the end to settle a debate in the office. 20 questions on who you’re going to vote for, then ‘name this random object’.
Jesus. Orkney and Shetland are a fucking confused lot.
It’s fun to see that this is a hangon for regional dialect, since so many older words have fallen out of use entirely in favour of a standard term.
I like how Scotland gets a callout for having the most terms. I grew up in *gutties* country and probably would use gutties and gym shoes interchangably. I recognise the word plimsolls because that’s probably how they were marketed in shops. Strangely I’ve never heard of sandshoes or sannies even though it’s popular.
That’s interesting. I only remember hearing about them once, as sandshoes, on doctor who. Makes me wonder why they chose to call them sandshoes in the script/show.
I feel like it would have been worth trying to include northern irrland. Especially if you’re going to include Shetland and Orkney isles.
Might as well go for all the British isles and include Ireland, mann, Scilly and possibly even jersey and guernsey.
We call them “Punnet o’ squares” down Wartington Common way
Sheffield – pumps or plimsolls used interchangeable
As a Canadian I’m increasingly of the opinion that England doesn’t actually speak English.
Note: the rest of the UK as well, but they have their own languages so it’s understandable.
Map is wrong as far as Gloucestershire is concerned.
They’re sandshoes in New Zealand private school
Daps! Haven’t heard that for a while
From East Yorkshire, school in 80’s. never ever heard sandshoes. always plimsoles or plimmys.
Very cool. I’ve heard sand shoes in Australia, but also tennis shoes or volleys
Doesn’t match my knowledge of the East of Scotland areas, but probably not worth losing sleep over.
(I also only knew the spelling as ‘plimsole’, although apparently plimsoll is the OG spelling.)
Apart from kelvinside, morningside , bearsden who has called them plimsoll’s
Does no one call them Vans? 😂
This map is so wrong!
According to this people in Dundee would call Sannies “plimsolls” , I’ve never heard them called that ever, In Dundee 🙄
