Iâve heard that if you removed all the water from the human body, the remaining chemicals would be just enough to fill your shoes.
I have no idea how to research this to confirm or deny that without ending up on some sort of watch list⌠đ¤ˇââď¸

Humans are anywhere between 50 and 75% water, with an average around 60. The average dutch male weighs 90 kilos and wears size 43. So that means his shoes should be able to hold about some 36 kilos of stuff. Of course, much or that weight is in carbon, which is twice as heavy as water, so letâs call it 18 liters of stuff.
Now, googling for volume of a boot is really hard, thanks to hard drives and car trunks, but I doubt I can fit a full bucket into even a large boot.

Honestly, I think that rumor comes from cremated ashes. If thatâs the case, I can confirm, my late father was cremated, and the volume of ashes seems to be about enough to fill a large pair of shoes.

My feet are somewhat average, perhaps a bit bigger than average and my girthiest boots (in my estimation) could hold no more than like 5L combined. Certainly not 9L each.

You didnât take into account that in this personâs head, all boots are thigh-highs.
