There are shoes specifically made for olympic lifting. Try them.

I just bought a pair of nike free trainers and they are the best shoes I have tried yet for squats/deads.

I used wrestling shoes. Those seemed to work pretty well.

I go the no shoe route ( cheaper than any shoe made ) Just socks. I do get a lot of looks and questions though
