Yes, people wore sneakers / tennis shoes in the 1930s. In the USA, the two major sneakers manufacturers were Keds and Converse. Keds, as a brand, started in 1916 and became part of the mass-market in 1917 by the U.S. Rubber Company. Today the Stride Rite owns the brand. Typically, Keds were for casual non-athletic activities, while Converse were athletic. NOTE: This division lasted for several decades but started to "come apart" in the 1960 and came completely apart with the introduction of other companies, such as Adidas, Puma, and Nike.
The word sneakers came into use in 1907 and is American English in origin.

In the 1840's, Goodyear came up with the first vulcanized rubber galoshes; in the 1870s, he made canvas-and -rubber tennis shoes that were an early version of sneakers. Actual sneakers, however, were invented by the conglomerate that bought Goodyear's shoe company in 1892 -- U.S. Rubber.
It was actually in the 1870's, and the creator was Charles Goodyear. He came up with this rubber for some secret mailboxes and ended up creating rubber for shoes. He first made tennis shoes, with that rubber. Then in the 1900's keds brought out the first "quite shoe". - Brittany M S.

An advertising agent working for N.W. Ayer & Son called Henry Nelson McKinney came up with the name. It came about because Keds had designed a shoe that made one quiet and stealthy. Something that wasn't common when walking in other shoes at the time.
Following the challenge put to the audience: (Say Kids, what time is it?) the song and audience thundered out- It"s Howdy Doody Time, It"s Howdy Doody Time, Bob Smith and Howdy, Too, say Howdy-Do to You! It was really a jingle and not a full-length song. the character had an ersatz Texan twang and it allegedly came out- Saaayy Keds- almost like the sneakers! By the way I never saw the program, for some odd reason it was banned in out house, but science fiction stuff was okay.
