That's pretty cool.  Though I really do not recommend squatting in running shoes.

I agree, normal running shoes are terrible to lift in.I'd be interested in trying them in the Crossfit lite's. The shoes feel so good and be far I feel the most stable in them compared to any shoe I've used before, I even did some squatting in them and it felt good, I just prefer a heel raise.

Same with me.  I have Crossfit lites and I use them for deadlifts and everything else.  I'm so quad dominant that heeled shoes just work better for me.

New to lifting and never thought about shoes...what kind of shoes are recommended?

In the end the answer is it depends. I personally prefer flatter and less cushion for lower body work. I have used Oly shoes on and off for lower body work as well. I use my running shoes pretty much only for running.A few options as far as in the gym:NB Minimus trainersReebok CF shoesVibrams

Thanks.  Got some Nike trainers and much better.
