I use New Balance NB520's, it IS a running shoe, but it's alright for me. I don't do heavy lifting though. Mostly circuit training on free weights, weights are around 25% of bodyweight, 8-10 exercises, 10-12 reps, 3 sets. And yes, if your doing heavy lifting (eg. strength or hypertrophy training), then correct footwear is a must.
Almost everyone in my gym wears Nikes or some type of running shoe, even when they are lifting. I see a few wear chucks and I think I saw just one guy wear olympic weight lifting shoes. I can't imagine squatting in running shoes. Just thinking about it makes my knee joints hurt.
just ordered this, awwwww yeah.

dont the classic chuck taylor shoes that powrlifters wear do the same thing?

@czoraa21 No, these raise your heels, bending your knees more, allowing you to use more muscle

@czoraa21 Don't listen to nikkonaa, they are flat and work fine, but they aren't optimized for lifting like these VS shoes are

Have you tried longboarding in weight lifting shoes? The added stability would be great.
