It depends on how severe it is. If you have to have prescription for arch supports for your feet than its an automatic disqualification. If however you experience no pain and you walk fine on them with no problem then it would require a medical waiver and from what I heard it can take like a couple days for a waiver to go through which you can get those at MEPS. I heard that they have special implants for your boots if they see that you are flat footed.

Why are flat-footed people not allowed in the US Army?
The reason why flat footed people aren't allowed in the Army is because of the shoes that they have to wear and also because if shooting at a close range they can lose balance of the gunshot won't be effective. Flat foot people don't usually get into the army because of not only the boots they have to wear, but the Army has to travel by foot a lot. There are already multiple foot problems in the Army and a flat footed person would have many more problems with their feet and possibly hold up their unit. Having flat feet has nothing to do with firing off a rifle. The above is not true. the doctors at MEPS will tell you if your flat feet are disqualifying or not. If your flat feet are symptomatic (painful) then they will disqualify you, or if you have ever been prescribed custom orthotics by a doctor. If they are asymptomatic (not painful) then the doctor will tell you if you can join or not.
