I have long femurs and short torso. My ankle dorsiflexion, namely on my right side, seems to be lacking (I get impingement in front of my ankle, due to an old ankle injury). However, I can do the '10 cm from the wall' test just fine, but it seems like it is still not enough to allow me to squat deep with my bodyweight, my heels rise up.

In the gym, I use raised heel shoes. I can do front squats, but the toe angle I have to use with them is a bit comical (45° plus minus).

So, this is a long-winded question: how much, measurably, dorsiflexion do I need in squat, and how can I measure it? What can I do with the impingement?
