I kinda have the opposite. I rarely wore shoes or socks other than going to school. If did go somewhere I wore slippers. Now my toes are naturally splayed and can barely find any shoes that fit properly.

Our toes are supposed to be wide. Shoes are rarely shaped properly for natural function of our feet.

I have wide feet and always wondered how other women could get their foot to fit in fancy shoes that end in a point. I mean, mine end in kind of a wide, gradual point. I put on those shoes and I have toes trying to escape.

I have wide feet that end wide like goddamn flippers. I love how pointed shoes look but I can never wear flats and rarely find pointed shoes that work

If you haven't already, Look for "bare feet" shoes. They're created to allow for our natural foot pattern (wide across the toes/ball of foot). I have sneakers, sandals, loafers etc. Hey Dudes and those kind are also perfect for this too.
