What shoes do you wear for squats and/or deadlifts?

Does anybody wear special shoes when squatting or deadlifting? I have read a few forums where they say it is better to use flat soled shoes like soccer or wrestling shoes or even be barefoot. I wear running shoes; not exactly a good idea according to people on these forums while squatting with heavy weights.

I am thinking about ordering some wrestling shoes to wear for my leg workouts.
