...and on to modern humans?

Did any of the early hominids have feet that shopwed ape-like characteristics, like an opposable big toe? Or something along that line? I already know about the pelvic, spinal, skull, and patelar differences. I just want some specifics about feet.

Please provide references.

Creationists, please don't bother to respond to this. I've already heard your arguments.

Specifically, I'm looking for something along the lines of progression.

the laetoli foorprints (australopithicus afarensis) show a gap between the big toe and the others [pg. 157, Kotak, Conrad Phillip, 1994, "Anthropology, The Exploration of Human Diversity", McGraw-Hill, n.y.].

the rest of my books detailing physical anthropology are not with me right now.

Aside from the feet developing arches, for support, I am woefully ignorant here.
