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.

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 let’s 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.

You didn’t take into account that in this person’s head, all boots are thigh-highs.

Honestly, I think that rumor comes from cremated ashes. If that’s 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.
