Female lifters - what shoes do you use?

I'm looking to buy shoes specifically for days when I'm lifting. I've had cross trainers and running sneakers and tried lifting in just socks but it creeped me out too much to not wear shoes in my gym.
Any brand and style suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

I know I'm not female lol, but if I'm only lifting and no cardio on that day IDC what's on my feet, I'll lift in house slippers0

Chuck Taylors or any flat-soled shoe will work for lifting.0

That's what I wear at the gym. I kept an eye out for clearance sales. If you don't mind weird patterns or colors that might work for you.
At home, I just wear socks.

New Balance Minimus WT10BL. I love them. I tried a couple other "barefoot" style shoes and like these the best.0

I wear Converse, which is what was suggested to me when I first started.0

Chucks. Plan on getting some squat shoes in the near future though.0

I wear a pair of retired running shoes. They're working great for me.0

Anything flat without padding/absorbing material in the heel/ball of the foot. Chucks are a common option. Target always has cheapie off-brand keds/chucks.0

I powerlift and use Reebok's crossfit lifting shoe. I have tried a bunch of different shoes and these by far have been my favorite. Hope this helps0

Chuck Taylors here as well.0

Squats & bench - Romeleos
Deadlifts - chucks0 -
Do not buy shoes with a compression sole to lift in (and particularly not squat in) - it creates an unstable platform.
Get a pair of shoes that has a very flat sole with no compression, like chucks. For squats you can use these or get squat shoes.0 -
Not female, but I lift in Adidas Sambas (an indoor soccer shoe). List price is kind of high, but they go on sale fairly often.0

I have Reebok lifters as well. I use them on leg day, especially if it's heavy squat or my focus is quad dominant. I just use my regular trainers on my other days.0

I wear Vans. They're flat like the Converse but have a little more room in the toe so I liked them better. It doesn't hurt that they're black and sparkly either!0
