I see alot of powerlifters wearing Converse chuck taylors. Any shoe/sneaker that keeps your feet close to the ground with a flat sole, like a wrestling shoe or sneaker designed specifically for lifting.
Exceptions to this rule would be the small percentage of the population that has supinated feet (don't decelerate or absorb shock well).

I never had any knee/shin problems until I started using Chucks about 6 months ago. It wasn't exactly my knee that was hurting, it was the shin right below the kneecap that was painful while squatting and even climbing stairs. 2 weeks ago I went back to cross-trainers, and the pain is all gone! It must have just been me I guess.

you should lift in flat shoes... i believe i once read leg lifts like DL/Squats are even better when done bare foot..
and run in special shoes that fit your foot the best.
i got a pair of basics from a local running shoes tore... the guys like a semi pro/pro runner or whatever (who knows) and spent like 5minutes analyzing my foot, than gave me three shoes, all which felt like heaven. I went with the mid price/best feely of them all.
i also got these socks called "jox socks" (unsure of spelling) they feel like heaven in the shoes.
my old ruinning shoe i wore alot, not just when running. now i only wear them when i run and it makes a huge difference.
