Why are shoes made so narrow to the point that it changes the bone structure of our foot? There had to be a benefit at some point so make them so narrow, right?

Tribal people who don’t wear shoes have very wide feet compared to people who wear shoes. I saw a commercial for “natural” shoes talking about how narrow even athletic shoes or standard shoes are compared to theirs. They claim that this changes the bones structure of the foot and can cause issues. I understand why we wear shoes, but why did we make them so narrow to the point that it changes our foot? Is there a benefit?

I have several pairs of high end dress shoes (Allen Edmonds, Alden) that I’ll probably never be able to wear because my feet got too wide wearing Crocs and slippers for 18 months during COVID. Should probably find a good place to donate them to.
