Gotta know what the hell shoe you are wearing now. Do people even read what they post before hitting submit? Shoes don't make you lean forward, that's what ankles are for, at least that's what mine do.
Don't wear shoes when you deadlift, wear a pair of slides to the gym like a proper weightlifting goon, put on yer "lifting shoes" when you need to wear "lifting shoes", which is probably for everything except deadlift. When you deadlift keep your slides on until you actually lift, kick em off, pull, slide em back on. Don't make eye contact with any gym staff, if they say something, just mumble back to them about yer deadlift slippers.
Or you can get wrestling shoes or something like NB minimus, they're discontinued but you can buy some fricked up ones from ebay, they're just for deadlifting so it won't matter. Chuck Taylors work wonderfully as a "Does It All" shoe, I lifted in Chucks for years, and you can wear em to the GWAR show after you workout. They're just that cool.

I have the same problem, for me I believe it’s an ankle mobility issue and not a shoe issue.
I’m about to switch over to more serious powerlifting, was more Hybrid (Hyrox) training prior.
I’m going to focus on ankle mobility and am buying the book “The Squat Bible” to work on form.
With that said, I just bought my first pair of lifters - Reebok Legacy Lifter II. Got a great deal, so went with these.
I don’t think the shoe is going to fix my issue, but it’s probably a small part of the equation (or at least can’t hurt)
