I've been using Chuck Taylors for squats and deadlifts for about a year now, and my current pair is coming close to being totally worn out. The Chucks were great for deadlifting, but I wish they had a bit more of a heel for squatting. What are some good options for weightlifting shoes?

Edit: my gym requires shoes to be worn so barefoot isn't an option.

My vote is skate shoes (DC's Globes dvs)
Or nothing better then bare feet

The Rogues always get good reviews.

why you want a heel to squat?

I just got a pair of these this week. If you're willing to spend the cash for a specialty shoe these are definitely worth it, really comfortable to squat in.
