    I love my nike romaleos.
    The whole purpose of deadlifting or whatever without shoes is so you dont lose power due to the soles compressing. Get weightlifting shoes or one with a thin sole (like chucks), it will serve the same purpose. And you wont be the dude lifting without shoes on.

    depends on if your quad or hamstring dominant , and which one of those you want to bring up .. if you want to activate more hamstrings and glute then squatting with no shoes or flat shoes and pushing through your heals works. IF you want to activate more of your quads then using a shoe with a stiff heal (like and olympic weight lifting shoe) and pushing through the center of your foot is better.
