When my gelding was being born and his two front feet presented I remember looking at them and saying "hmmmm he has one flat foot". The other isn't unusually upright or clubby but he has one that is flat. This has never bothered him. My current shoer has been doing his feet since this horse was 2 and just shoes him the way he is without too much fuss. We did discuss eggbar shoes but I do not like them and wouldn't use them. Other than me worrying sometimes about them he does fine even on rocky rides (but I do slow down on rocks). He doesn't seem more prone to bruising on that foot either.
The one thing I would be really leery of is a farrier that would try to "match up" the feet.
