I was reading about footwear while lifting, and it brought up what may be a good point. Is it bad to wear running shoes while doing squats? I usually run 5-10 minutes as a warm-up, so I always lift in my running shoes. Does having the cushioned heel throw the angle off? Should I pick up some wrestling shoes or some other flat shoe for lifting purposes?

Running shoes have padding for comfort, which makes you prone to slipping around in your shoe. Also they tend to have a raised drop (a slightly higher heel) which makes slipping around that much gayer for your anxkles, form, and the sloots checking your knees check themselves.
The general consensus; nobody will care if you just get some flat soled shoes, they are fine. Squat shoes are great though, however unnessesary for a majority of people.

Squatting barefoot is the best thing you could do for support

Soft soled shoes will fuck you up when lifting, either go barefoot or get some random flat and hard soled ones.

you wear the appropriate sole to your foot if you have an arch
