I can push mine too the floor when braking hard  .
And I have new shoes and pads, no leaks from calipers, brake cyclinders or master cyclinder. Brakes have been bleed multiple times . . . And still does it.

You actually tried the brakes while the car is moving?

Air in the system or dodgy master cylinder.
Bleed it through with fresh fluid and see how ya go.

They probably need bleeding but if that fails then the rear shoes might not be adjusted properly and taking a lot of fluid to move the shoes further to the brake drum than normal
