Chuck Taylor hi-tops are really light and the soles are firm and flat. Which makes them good for squatting and especially good for deadlifting.
If you think they're heavy, well that doesn't matter because your foot should be planted during squats and deadlifts.
On the deadlift you want a sole the is firm and flat, not squishy and not raised on any part of the foot.
Is there anything special about real Chuck Taylors? No. They are simple, but expensive for what they are just because Converse is owned by Nike. Knock offs or fake ones from China would do the same thing for a fraction of the price.
Barefoot does just as well if your place of training allows.
