What is the treatment for flat feet if custom orthotics do not work?

Surgery: If you have flexible flat feet, which means if you have arches when you are not standing, then sinus tarsi implant can be use to prevent and correct your flat feet. This is relatively easy and quick. If you have non flexible flat feet (rigid) then there are various bone surgeries and tendon transfers that can help. See a surgical trained podiatrist.

Flat feet : There is a procedure called a sub talar arthroeresis. Call your podiatrist and see if he/she performs that or can refer you to someone that does.
