thanks! I appreciate the help.
I know it's a funny-sounding request, but I have a weak ankle from an accident a few years ago, so I want to find something that will give me the extra support. I'm glad they're cheap, too!

I like squatting in bare feet... Wont give you much support.. but its easy to balance...

my Chucks are "oil" green. Love 'em! When I got 'em I found out that the store I got them from has the widest color selection in the country (in case some of you were looking for an aqua or hot pink pair ).

I squat and deadlift in a pair of Adidas Tyrint wrestling shoes.

If I were doing a high bar squat...I'd get a pair of Olympic Lifting shoes... For wider stanced squats or deadlifts...I'd get the Chucks.

Chuck Taylors....oh that brings back memories about making fun of those shoes when I was playing basketball in high school! Ahhhh the memories!

You can also try RDC's shoes for powerlifting style squats, the heel is rasied but plenty of ankle support

expensive, but awesome shoes from what I hear
