Maratown is on a mission to make the most comfortable dressed-up shoes, combining a maximalist running shoe sole with a minimalist dress shoe upper. Stay chic on your daily marathons. Don't choose between elegance and comfort - take both. Maximally thick and cushioned sole, but still stable and lightweight.
Walk farther, pain free.
Atop a maximalist sole, a minimalistic upper inspired by dress shoes. Made to wear for any occasion where you need the comfort of a running shoe with a dressed-up style. At work, for daily use, with jeans, slacks, a skirt, or a suit, the only business casual shoes made with a cushy running shoe sole.
Maratown shoes are shaped by innovative technical features: a thick sole crafted from soft, bouncy foam for max cushion, a wide base for enhanced stability, and a rocker profile for a smoother, effortless stride.
Advanced Cushioning: The thick midsole is made from soft, bouncy foam that absorbs impact while providing all-day comfort.

With a chunky sole and 3 mm rubber outsole, the Maratown Black Vegan shoe weighs only 12.59 oz (357 g) in men's size 9 (without insole). The leather version comes in at 13.83 oz (392 g), an impressive weight for a leather dress shoe.
Despite its ultra-thick, cushioned sole, the extra-wide heel ensures stability with every step on any terrain. Maratown delivers superior cushioning without the fear of ankle sprains, particularly for individuals with balance or mobility issues*.

Front height: 1.26 in(32 mm)
Unlike typical dress shoes, where minimal cushioning relies on the insole, Maratown allows you to insert your own orthotic insole while still benefiting from 100% of the cushioning provided by the midsole, a feature beneficial for those with specific foot conditions, such as plantar fasciitis or flat feet*.
Fit is essential for comfort. Maratown shoes are available in medium and wide fits, with an extra-wide option coming soon. Each pair includes volume adjusters for a customized fit, and the soft leather naturally stretches to adapt to your feet.
Maratown offers breathable, soft full grain leather upper and lining that does not crease into your feet.
Maratown’s upper quarters are designed without stitches around the metatarsals to reduce pressure and discomfort for those with bunions. Additionally, Maratown minimizes interior stitching and hard points, offering a smooth, comfortable fit for sensitive or diabetic feet.
Maratown shoes are crafted in Portugal, adhering to European health and safety standards. They are made with certified, non-hazardous materials that prioritize both sustainability and foot health. MARATOWN are stored and shipped from our warehouses in the USA and France.
