i agree.  i have not thru-hiked, but i haqve hikes 1000's of miles as 
well as trail-run  1000's more, and also run several marathons and 
ultramarathons.  my shoe size has recently gone from 9.5 to 10.5.  most 
of my friends who also run/hike alot have expressed similar 
experiences.  my wife, who is an M.D., says that it is quite common for 
people's feet to "flatten" and get bigger as they age.  apparently, the 
amount of "flattening" varies from person to person.

peace,
dude
