Your wife is absolutely correct. In the nineties most people called them tennis shoes. Then they became trainers but every one from Northern Ireland has always called them gutties (plural of gutty). As my surname just happens to be 'Trainor' I have a vested interest in continuing to call them 'gutties'.
