  • Boots vs Shoes (specifically athletic)



  • Boots I think are the same, generally any footwear which covers the ankle or higher, shoes being anything lower.

    Trainers v Sneakers (running shoes) is probably a more common difference

    Also the word "fanny" should not be used in the UK, because it refers to a female's body part on the opposite side.
