If you have rigid flat feet, then other than some surgical procedures, there is no other way you can completely fix the problem. Similarly, even in the case of flexible flat feet, without proper muscle strengthening and regaining of the arches, no amount of supportive treatment will be able to reverse the problem completely. However, the conservative management of the condition is very helpful in managing the pain.    The insoles available for shoes these days help in the distribution of the weight pressure evenly throughout the base of the shoe. These insoles do not maintain an arch and only reduce the pain by weight dispersion. Hence, to say that insoles can fix flat feet will be a wrong statement.
