If you mean feet that have somewhat of an arch to them, but flatten when you put your weight on them, I was told those are called flexible flat feet.
depends on opinion. flat feet are an unattractive genetic mutation
Having flat feet doesn't necessarily mean that you have good balance. Usually when someone has flat feet they have strong feet but, when someone has a high arched foot, it usually means that they need to work on the strength in their feet. A good way to strengthen your feet would be with a "Thera-band"
tendons of the foot muscles help hod the bones firmly in the arched position but still allow a certain amount of give or springiness. Weak arches are referred to as "fallen arches" or "flat feet"

Being flat-footed means that your entire arch on the bottom of your feet collapses (touches the ground when you walk). A normal foot has an arch, and a high-arched foot has a very large arch when you walk.
According to about.com, and I summarize (not plagiarize), it really depends on your feet. If you have "flat feet" then you'd want something that gives you more stability when you run. If you have arched feet, you'd obviously want something that cushions your feet more. Running shoes really should just be comfortable for you in general when you run the way YOU run.
The best running shoes for low arched feet would be a type of underpronators or neutral-cushioned shoes. They offer more of a soffer midsole for the runner and cause less strain on the spine.
