Which is very odd, considering your last two videos had better depth. Remember to take people's advice on this board with a grain of salt.
The last form check suggested your widen your stance, and now it appears too wide (from my point of view). The wider it is, the less adductor use...ie it's bad. You seem to lack a bounce now =/
Your last form check suggested that your look down not forward, I've found that this is preference. The general idea is to remember to DRIVE UP WITH YOUR HIPS. It now appears that you're afraid to commit to depth, and as a consequence, you're not dropping your hips far enough down.
Shoes! They do indeed provide an advantage, but again, person preference will prevail.
Really, you should post this in Rip's Q&A section. He has the expert eye. And being completely honest, this technique forum has apparently brought about more harm than good for you.
