Hello Rafaela1,
'sneakers' and 'trainers' mean the same thing, but the first is American English and the second is British English.
As far as I know (I'm not a runner), 'running shoes' and 'jogging shoes' are the same kind of shoe; for most people, 'jogging' and 'running' are the same thing, though for some 'jogging' refers to a kind of slower-paced running, whereas running is a more general term that can include jogging plus faster running.
'walking shoes' in theory could be a bit different from running or jogging shoes, though I expect they are quite similar in many ways.
Hope that helps you make sense of it!
All the best
