This may sound stupid, but I prefer to lift barefooted and I do. I really don't think if i drop 400 lbs on my foot that it's going to make a big difference what type of shoes I have on, unless they are stell toed and the weight falls on that part. But I'm not that lucky and it would miss the steel.
Now i do wear shoes when leg presses or hacks happen to come my way. Other then that, I'm happier barefooted.

The only time I could see shoes being an issue is squat and olympic lifts for ankle support... Deadlifting I don't even see how ankle support would be much of an issue.

I prefer barefoot myself, though I can't really do that at my gym. Actually, I did lift in socks because I brought a pair, but I forgot to bring my shoes and I only had sandals, heh.
Anyway, that's your call, but I prefer low tops. Siff is definitely a person I would trust advice from though.The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...
