    Ok, this is an exaggerated (and badly drawn) drawing, but do people wear shoes like in option 2? Or do I just have comfortable shoes??

    Low quality diagram with a drawing of 1. foot in shoe, there is space in front of the toes; 2. foot in shoe, the toes are comically squished.

      I’ve seen women’s shoes like that. But even picture 1 isn’t good for you. Your toes are naturally wider than the rest of your foot (take a look at a toddler walking barefoot sometime to see this). Toes splay to give us balance. Shoes that are like picture 1 or, God forbid, 2, push the toes to be narrower than they should be, causing crowding, overlapping, and bunions, among a host of other issues.
