Championitos
Small, comfortable, or baby sneakers in Uruguayan Spanish. It's the affectionate diminutive of "championes" (sneakers in UY) and applies both to children's footwear and to lightweight adult sneakers you wear to be comfortable. "Me puse los championitos" means I put on the relaxed sneakers, not the work shoes. An affectionate word, very Uruguayan, with a homey feel.
