Footwear For Lifting?

Any suggestions on footwear while lifting. Since I've started doing squats I have been developing minor heel pain. I currently wear a newbalance crosstraining shoe. I added a heel insole which has helped some, but am looking at better solutions.
 
Just try and keep your feet flat while doing squats. I have seen some people even go barefoot - don't worry, they still had socks on!

I recently started a thread on this that you might find useful:

Lifting shoes

Colby is right about some people going barefoot - saw a guy doing just that today - but I don't recommend bare feet as you really do need instep/arch support once you are lifting heavy. I personally think a good pair of lifting shoes is a really good investment.
