Strengthens them as opposed to wearing shoes? Not sure, it is good for the entire skeletal alignment, knees, back, the feet themselves... and there's more stability; athletic shoes, even those claiming to be supportive, can actually increase the odds of lateral injury. But that's more of a balance/stability/increased leverage effect, influencing the risk of such an injury when stepping on an uneven surface, rather than a gradual strengthening or weakening of the ankle.
Btw, your foot does not get 'wider' from going barefoot any more than women from the 17th century got a 'wide waist' from not wearing a corset. That's how our feet are supposed to look, but *shoes* cause them to be more *narrow*.

it could, but try walking in sand on a beach for a few hours in the morning before the bathers get out and put the towels all over the sand.
You will have a lot of fun seeing what washed up ove night and all of the fun things you can do between waves running a jumping and just, oh wait, that's called a work out now. for get it, just go and play on the beach and get a tan, the ankles will take care of themselves.
