Loss of balance is one point. You could also throw everything out of alignment (knees, hips, toes).
What does your knee going past your foot have to do with anything? If you're thinking of the
myth that your knees aren't supposed to go past your toes...pay careful attention when you walk up a flight of stairs next time
I don't understand what you mean by 'planted the foot at a 45 behind' you. The leg should go straight back, not over and back, and the toes/feet should point forward.
From the video you provided it looks like your back leg in angled away from you (wider stance than straight back) and the foot is rotated (heel inward) and not straight back.
