Pre TWOC footwear innit.

One of the PE teachers when you used to have to wear such things was always a bit snide though.

In Glasgow known as gym shoes( by your primary school teacher) also sannies ( sand shoes), gutties ( no idea why?) or Barlinnie breakouts ( the shoes you might be wearing if you were to go on the run from the famous Glasgow big hoose (prison).
