They’re ok if you have a wide foot. For the price they really are a steal. They probably won’t last as long as some rom 2s or something, but they’re well worth the price

They are a crutch for someone who can’t hit parallel and need these. Ideally you should be able to squat all the way down (ATG) and break parallel without weightlifting shoes.

That’s a stupid analogy. Your body isn’t broken because you can’t hit depth. It’s because you don’t have the mobility because you never trained it. Nobody teaches their children to walk in crutches.
