Wrong answer for NFHS !

One foot out is a live ball. Both feet must leave the field of play before the ball becomes dead.

NFHS 5-1-1i
Ball becomes dead immediately when: a fielder, after catching a fair or foul ball (fly or line drive), leaves the field of play by stepping with both feet or by falling into a bench, dugout, stand, bleacher or over any boundary or barrier such as a fence, rope, chalkline or pre-game determined imaginary boundary line.

NFHS 8-3-3d
Each runner is awarded: one base if ... or with less than two outs, the batter his a fair or goul ball (fly or line drive) which is caught by a fielder, who then leaves the field of play by stepping with both feet or by falling ...

OBR 5.10f
The ball becomes dead when ... a fielder, after catching a fly ball falls into a bench... FEET NOT AN ISSUE.
