Is deadlifting in socks instead of shoes a meme or is it beneficial?

As long as it's a flat and firm you can deadlift on it

Is there a benefit, though?

There would if you were wearing shitty shoes. e.g. you forgot it was deadlift day and wore running shoes.

If you have the wrong sort of shoes to deadlift it (ie anything without a thin non-compressible sole) then its beneficial. If you have good shoes for deadlifting in, its not useful.

All I own is running shoes, so I guess it would help. Thanks.
