For everything but dead lifts and squats i wear Jordans. I just got these actually and love them http://www.sneakerfiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Jordan-Fly-Wade-2... and for deadlifts and squats i have to go with hightop chuck taylors...

The first time you drop a dumbell during a set of incline flys....and then it boinks off your head.....rolls down your chest.....runs over your already-shrunken balls....and smashes your big toe, you'll go for the steel-toe work boots.
I know: I watched me do it.

i have some old riding boots that i use sometimes specially in the winter time. they not steel-toe but they're still heavy duty boots. but yeah, i hope i don't drop nothing on my toes. i got pretty bad ingrown toenails

it was a tough decision on which shoes to buy between these 2, but decided to go with the black ones. here are the pics of the 2

Ive heard chucks are good for deadlifts and squats but nothing is more natural than barefoot. Those shoes that mold to your feet are really the best most natural shoes u can wear in the gym even though you will get ripped on for wearing them. Best way is normal shoe because if you have those little footies and drop a weight on your foot your even more f'ed. I take my shoes off for squats and deadlifts

I'm thinking about getting some but the day I drop a weight on it its guna break fore sure

I wear different shoes depending on what im doing. For squats i have some Safe USA squat shoes. You may be able to find a good used pair on ebay or in the classifieds on powerliftingwatch.com. They are great and allow you to really sit back into your squat. If u cant find those just some good ol chucks should do.

I always deadlift in wrestling shoes. To be honest, i had a training partner who would wear ballerina slippers at powerlifting meets when he got to the deads. Funny as hell but no doubt a good deadlift footwear!

Everything else i just wear running shoes. Running shoes suck for squatting and deadlifting. They are too squishy and i feel like im standing on a mattress.
