Foot shape change

Back in June 2010 when starting running barefoot I was reading a lot of about how to transition properly and what changes to your body to expect. I also stumbled upon an article about structural changes happening to your feet when running barefoot by Tellman Knudson.
5 Structural Changes to Expect in Your Feet


A short list:

1. Spreading of the toes.
2. Bones becoming unfused in forefoot.
3. Loosening and flexibility of the toes.
4. A wider, more muscular foot.
5. Inability to Be Comfortable Wearing (Any) Shoes.

It got me really curious to find out if any of that would really happen so I took a camera and shot a couple of pictures of my feet from different angles and took a couple of pictures of my soles too.

Have been running for over two years now so decided to take a shot of my forefoot again for a comparison.

It is quite amazing to see the change. Not only the toes are spreading properly but the whole foot becomes more muscular and the transverse arch is more prominent now.

I am hoping in the next couple of years the pinky toe will realign to its proper position as well to get even more stability in my feet.
