Why do all barefoot shoes taper off at the big toe? (lemmy.ml)

Not counting shoes that have different toe pockets, all barefoot shoes basically have this issue. Some shoes more than others.

The number one selling point of barefoot shoes is the so-called anatomically shaped toe box. But if it's tapered off then I wouldn't call it anatomical. Healthy feet aren't actually shaped like that.
