Calculating giant footprints

Well we need the footprint area, the depth of the footprint and then multiply it with the compressive strength of whatever material the foot crushed (Usually soil).
 
I'm not knowledgeable by any mean but i think it could? I mean, it's basically how looking at a footprint can tell you how big something is, if we can have the lake area, depth then use some destruction method then we should be good, or just calc out the chars size and make kinetic energy calc through that. Or atleast that's what common sense dictate.

Edit: bruh, ninja'd

Cool, where do I get the values of the compressive strength of soil?
 
Ah alright, thanks for the tips my dudes

Actually, would the regular lake volume work instead of the depth and area?
Do we have a volume for the lake? Also, the water could've eroded the original area so not sure if that would be accurate.
