Can wide feet go away?

I've heard some people say that wide feet can be corrected or even go away over time. Is this true? Is there any scientific evidence to support this claim? If so, what are the methods or techniques that have been proven to be effective in reducing the width of feet? Or is it more of a matter of genetics and personal anatomy that we just have to accept? I'm curious to know if there's anything I can do to improve the appearance of my wide feet.
