I was watching lifting vids and saw a few guys that wore Converse when lifting. Are these a good substitute for weight lifting shoes?

As of 5/2/08:
26, male, 5'9", 250# of chub & muscles. I workout alone in my garage.
Bench Press = 260x3
Deadlift = 315x5 (deweighted)
Hi Rep Squat = 185x20 >>>> I don't have a proper squat rack, so I do these instead.
BB Row = 225x4 (deweighted)
Front Squat/Push Press = 180x5
Pwr Cleans = 185x5 (deweighted)
Pullups = 7
Now I will finally begin cutting. More trying to run a 5K with my sister than getting lean.

LOL, why would you get off-brand Chucks? On-brand are already super cheap.

Because they cost $40.
They are "classic" so the price shoots up.

The flatness of these shoes has made a big difference, with sneaks it felt like I was leaning forward all the time because the heel is thicker on sneaks.
