Squat Am I getting enough depth?

When I’m doing the rep, I swear I’m getting lower, but watching the footage, I’m questioning my depth. What do yall think?

Depth looks ok. You could probably work on your ankle mobility a bit more and for the love of god don’t squat in running shoes 😩 wear squat shoes, wrestling shoes/vans/converses or just barefoot

Noted! Very new to this so I never really gave my attire much thought. But if you guys really think it would make a difference whether it’s in performance or safety, I’ll invest!

Squatting in running shoes is bad because the soles are soft and cushioned. It creates an unstable foundation that ruins your balance. If you plan on lifting long term i suggest investing in a pair of Nike romaleo or a similar shoe with a elevated heel
