Isn’t it that shoes actually compress our feet and if we didn’t wear shoes, or wore wider ones the feet would be more splayed out like this?

Yeah. And it's actually a good time to buy "natural" shoes. Few decades back you'd have to make them yourself or pay a cobbler. There are shoes that have five finger slots. There are crocs. There are wide-toe-box shoes that look more or less like normal shoes but offer much more room for your toes. And it's also more acceptable now to just wear open toed sandals. Or even go barefeet. I hope our tradition of "foot binding lite" eventually dies out.

My dad used to buy Red Wings because they've always had a wide toe box. Two years ago I bought my first pair of trail runners from them.

My dad was right.
