No: Height is measured from heel to head.

Slightly: When having flat feet, you will flatten out the arch. Having a higher arch can add maybe a 1/4". So in the grand scheme of things, it probably will not be noticeable to anyone.

Flat feet and height: Yes. And it could affect your posture and gait (walking positions).

So slightly...: Not enough to be remotely important though.
