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.
