    Hi,

    do You guys use weightlifting shoes only for Squats or is it a good idea to use it for Deadlifts as well?

    Personally I prefer to deadlift barefoot.

    I use my .5" shoes. Try it both ways and see what you like.

    I'm with Nick. I'm used to a slight heel, but you may feel better in flats for pulling. It will only take a few pulls to find out.
