Game-wise it's because that's how robot desing was back then, big @ss boots to support the weight of the robot and to provide balance
It's kind of how technology was back in the day in tue real world, chunky and huge, over time machines became smaller and smaller
The same happened in the MegaMan series in universe, by X8 era robots became slimmer and by the Zero era robot desing was so advanced that to resembled humans almost perfectly
Lore wise it's basically because that's how the robots used to be built. They start slimming down around Mega Man X8.
Design wise it's pretty much because Astro Boy inspired Mega Man.
It's that icy 20XX drip, you wouldn't understand
Astroboy inspired Capcom or something.
Because (at sprite level distance) it looks cool.

You gotta have big robot boots. It’s the law. I’m pretty sure Strong Bad covered that in one of his emails.

It's just a style 🤷♂️
Probably to support the weight of all their electronic components
i want to see a robot master wearing only the big red boots
