Addressing Common Foot Issues with Maratown Shoes: A Pedorthist’s Perspective

Meeting the Needs of Pedorthists

Pedorthists frequently encounter patients with diverse foot conditions that require specialized footwear. From plantar fasciitis relief shoes to arthritis and diabetic foot care, finding shoes that address these issues while maintaining a clean, professional design is often challenging. Maratown shoes, developed in collaboration with pedorthists, aim to bridge this gap. By combining advanced sole technology, adjustable fittings, and premium materials, Maratown's running dress shoes offer a solution tailored to those managing foot pain and discomfort.

While Maratown shoes are not classified as medical devices and do not provide medical advice, this article is based on feedback from pedorthists and clients to highlight how they can complement foot health management.

How Maratown Shoes Address Common Foot Issues

1. Plantar Fasciitis and Aponeurosis

• Thick, Soft EVA Sole: Reduces foot pressure and provides cushioning for the heel, alleviating strain on the plantar fascia. Distributes weight evenly across the foot to reduce localized stress.
• 15mm Drop Sole (15mm before compression during walking): Relieves pressure on the heel and decreases tension on the Achilles tendon, valuable for shoes for plantar fasciitis relief.
• Top Rocker Design: Facilitates smooth roll-out, promoting natural movement and minimizing pain during walking.
• Arch Support: Drop and shape of the sole and insole offer targeted support to the arch, providing relief for plantar fascia inflammation.

2. Diabetic Foot Care

• Minimal Stitching: Reduces the risk of irritation and ulceration on sensitive or fragile skin.
• Soft Leather Upper: Breathable, gentle on the skin, and stretches to accommodate foot swelling or deformities.
• Roomy Fit: Accommodates orthotics and allows for proper circulation without constriction. Maratown shoes are designed to offer this essential balance of comfort and protection for diabetic patients.

3. Achilles Tendinitis

• Cushioned Sole: Absorbs impact to reduce stress on tendons, especially around the Achilles.
• 15mm Drop Sole: Relieves pressure on the heel and decreases tension on the Achilles tendon.
• Heel Support: The reinforced heel base and counterfort provide stability and alignment, reducing tension on the Achilles tendon.
• Stable Base: A wide sole base prevents excessive movements that could aggravate tendons and helps prevent ankle sprain.

4. Broken Bones and Post-Injury Support

• Structured Sole: Prevents twisting while providing flexibility at the metatarsal area for natural movement.
• Adjustable Fit: Volume adjusters and removable insoles allow for customization, accommodating swelling or orthotic inserts.

5. Arthritis and Joint Pain

• Cushioned and Flexible Sole: Alleviates joint impact and provides a smoother walking experience.
• Wide, Stable Base: Prevents instability, which can exacerbate joint pain.
• Minimal Joint Pressure: The shoe’s design avoids pressure points that could inflame arthritic joints.

6. Calcaneal Spur and Heel Fat Pad Syndrome

• Thick EVA Sole with Heel Cushioning: Relieves pressure on the heel and supports the fat pad, reducing discomfort caused by calcaneal spurs.
• 15mm Drop Sole: Reduces pressure on the heel and decreases tension on the Achilles tendon.
• Supportive Sole and Insole: Provides even weight distribution, relieving stress on the heel area.

7. Metatarsalgia

• Cushioned Sole and Top Rocker: Reduces pressure on the forefoot and improves weight distribution.
• Flexible Metatarsal Bending: Promotes natural movement and relieves pressure at the right joint.
• Supportive Sole and Insole: The shape of the sole and insole helps evenly distribute weight across the foot, alleviating pressure on the metatarsals.

8. Hallux Valgus (Bunion)

• Stitch-Free Bunion Area: Prevents irritation and allows soft leather to stretch comfortably around the bunion.
• Roomy Fit with Two Width Options: Ensures adequate space for the forefoot, reducing pressure on the bunion.
• Soft Leather Upper: Adapts to the foot shape while remaining breathable and durable.
