Looking like an ass doesn't stop many people on this board (yourself included), I'm honestly surprised you'd even try and use that to make a point.
I know a lot about flat feet, having sold hiking boots to people with all sorts of foot malfunctions for years, and recovering from a very painful, very collapsed arch myself. I, like everyone else, went the typical path in this and tried the arch supporting shoes, even more support (superfeet, etc), "motion control" running shoes, blah blah blah. While that stuff seemed to work great when I had it on.. walking without all that crap sucked balls because I wasn't fixing the problem, only putting a bandaid on it.
After a couple suggestions from a yoga instructor (yes, yoga) about paying attention to the position of my foot while I stand, eventually leading to more attention to how I walk, the arch will still collapse if I let it but I get NO pain ever because I go through my day without them collapsing.. the muscles are strong enough to support things and more importantly, they are used to being used in that way all of the time. I don't feel that exercises alone will fix much, because you literally have to change how you walk to really address the problem I was having, and thinking about every step you take isn't something that comes naturally for most people. Eventually the patterns in which your muscles get fired change and adapt. This process took months, btw.
I won't even bother getting started on how many people see their plantar fasciitis disappear once they start running barefoot or close to it.
