We all probably have heard the word sneakers sometime before, and know what it refers to, especially those whole love this kind of shoes, in fact the word sneakers has crossed frontiers, being universally known nowadays, but where does this word actually come from?
All the way to the United States!
Sneaker originates from the word sneak, which translates as to walk stealthily about, also related to stealing, in fact, thieves were known as sneaks. The only inconsistency was that back then, shoes were mostly made of leather, so that walking in them was noisy, thus passing unnoticed was out of the question. Things changed when, in the 19th century, the first rubber-soled shoes appeared, becoming the perfect choice to walk silently. That's exactly how the term sneaker originated.
