Is it possible that some formes of valgus diminish with training,
as the arch reinforces ?
(Practical consequences: one could (prudently) shift to flatter shoes)

I don't see why not. Certainly the body strengthens with proper
(non-injurious) traning. It may be a long time (many months to years)
though, depending on the person and the severity of pronation at the
start.

Certainly I reckon , my fallen arches have much improved over the 2
years I've been running.

Some people throw in a little barefoot running to strengthen the feet.
I've personally recently given up on shoes (I was talked into buying
"support" shoes by the running shoe store which ended up not feeling
comfortable, and I was recommended an orthotic as I was overpronating on
one side) and now run barefoot everywhere... But I realize many won't
go that far. If you do decide to add some barefoot running, take it
slow and don't do much at first because your soles will not be tough and
your feet and ankles are likely weak.
