    Do you have barbell? Hack squats!
    Only DB? Goblet squats or unlinear leg work.
    Nothing? Pistol squats.

    I feel it in my knees when I lower really bad.

    I have a BB, I do dls on leg days so I don't want to do hack squats. Also, my hip mObility is really bad so I can't squat fully.

    Put normal DL (heavy) on back day. On legs day start with knee dominant move (front or hack squats) then hips move (RDL or SLDL). Add unlinear work and calf raises.

    For mobility try "squat to stand".

    A deadlift a day keeps the Rippetoe away.

    Don't do skateboard squats, it's basically like using a smith machine. It'll ruin your knees.

    I recommend something like split squats. They are great for the quads and glutes and don't require much weight for them to be difficult. Bulgarian split squats for the time being will work your legs well. If they are too easy then hold dumbbells while doing them.

    How far are your feet from the wall?  I dont recommend skateboard squats, but if your feet are very close to the wall, it;s gonna hurt.
