You want shoes that are flat with a wide toe box (or barefoot if you’re allowed to).
CrossFit shoes like Reebok Nano or Nike Metcons will serve you well. I wear TYR CXT 1 trainers myself.
A pair of plain old chucks are popular too but if you get serious about squatting you’ll want to look into shoes like I mentioned above or a pair of actual lifters to let your toes spread out a bit.
Flatness and toebox width are not at all necessary for a good shoe for squatting.
You want non-compressing soles, and some folks benefit from a raised heel. I personally squat in flat shoes, but weightlifting shoes are very common.
Yeah that guy was clearly drinking the Tyr kool-aid bringing up toe box in a lifting shoe lol
