I have pretty small feet so I was searching for anything that could help them grow. I found that some people experience an increase of one or two shoe sizes after hiking. Some people thought that it was just from swelling, but others said that their feet stayed permanently bigger.

“On my first thru-hike my foot size went from about 9 1/2 to about 11. I think most people's feet increase in size from long distance hiking. I still wear an 11 or so even during and after more long hikes. I think that general pattern is pretty common.”
I just wanted to put some advice out there for anyone that has small feet, wants bigger feet, but this might not work for everyone though but I guess for some it may be worth a try. I haven’t tried hiking yet so I can’t give any personal experience.
