"dead" shoes are great to use for lifting...if you don't have any biomechanical deficiencies in your feet, or if you have flat feet you use arch supports in them. If you are a pronator or supinator and wear 'dead' shoes (without additional support) to squat, lunge, deadlift or any other standing exercise, you're prone to the same injuries sustained if you were to run in them...don't you think Court?
Everything else being equal, that's a great idea to get some longevity out of your running shoes. Ideally that's all you'll be using them for.
