flat footed is bad. you need some kind of arch. also, it is best if your toes are of even length (not common) because let's say you have a very long big
or middle toe, it has to take most of the weight of your body when you are en pointe.

If you don't have a good arch then you have bad then. If you have a good arch then you have good feet. Also a person with good feet for pointe would have almost all of their toes lined up on the ends so that it is straight and square.

One way to tell if you have a good arch is to sit with your legs straight out in front of you. With your heels on the ground, try to arch your foot so that your toes touch the floor as well. This is also a really good stretch to do before you start dancing.

Well, it's not only flat-footed that's bad. Being bow-legged (your feet turn completely) is bad. Also, Rolling in on your feet or rolling out on you feet is bad as well.

bad feet means you don't have an arch, good feet means you have one and it's well defined.

It usually pertains to how strong an arch you have. But just having a naturally strong arch isn't enough. You also have to be strong in technique.
