| | kondisko | Explanation:
sportssko er en bredere term end kondisko.

Sneakers er forbeholdt folk men en anglofil penchant ,,:-) |

1 hr confidence:   sportssko
Explanation:
Webster's dictionary has sneakers as:
a shoe or slipper with a cloth upper and a continuous sole and heel as of one piece of soft rubber, used for play or sports.
Sneakers is the most commonly used term for tennis shoes.

for running - running shoes
for gym - gym shoes
Both types are like a tennis shoe. A shoe flike this is sneakers.
And I would still call it "sportssho"

Sorry, that last word "sportssho" is a typo - it should read "sportssko". - I haven't had enough coffee yet, apparently, this morning.

Asker: I need the translation for the kind of shoes, which are used when the person goes to the gym or runs in the mornings.
