If it's by birth u need to use medical longitudinal arch support with hathi pad ( heel cup) for both arch management and prevention of hyper pronation of feet. ..
As congenial deformity doesnt get corrected although we have many more orthotics option which helps a lot to overcome issues..

Flat feet can be due to some structural problems in the foot. If you are assessed properly then if there is a structural issue, surgery will improve it. If there is no structural issue physiotherapy sometimes helps.
Using an arch without assessment is not ideal as you may not get complete benefit from the arch support.
Hope this helps.
