Elephants essentially walk tip-toed and the rest of the foot is made up of fatty-fibrous tissue. This tissue acts as a shock absorber, which also helps to muffle sound, and the shape of the foot makes it relatively easy for elephants to walk in mud. I can only assume the 'flat shape' evolved to accomidate the elephants weight.
