Maratown's running dress shoes, developed in collaboration with pedorthists, integrate advanced technologies to address a variety of foot conditions while maintaining a clean and professional aesthetic. Based on pedorthists' expertise and customer feedback, this article highlights the key features of Maratown shoes and their potential benefits for foot health and comfort. While not classified as medical devices or a source of medical advice, Maratown shoes are designed to enhance arch support and stability, improving overall well-being. Combining comfort, support, and style, Maratown shoes offer effective solutions for foot pain without compromising elegance.
The thick, soft EVA sole in Maratown's running dress shoes provides exceptional cushioning, reducing foot pressure and absorbing shock. This is particularly beneficial for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, calcaneal spurs, and metatarsalgia. Scientific studies suggest that "wearing cushioning shoes can reduce landing-related rear foot impact forces, lowering stress on the foot's soft tissues" (1). By evenly distributing weight across the foot, Maratown shoes alleviate localized stress on the heel and forefoot, benefiting individuals with arthritis or heel fat pad syndrome.
15mm Drop Sole for Arch Support and Stability
Maratown shoes incorporate a 15mm drop (decreasing slightly during walking compression), which reduces heel pressure and relieves tension on the Achilles tendon. This feature is particularly beneficial for individuals with plantar fasciitis, tendinitis, and calcaneal spurs. By alleviating strain on sensitive foot areas, it also aids in post-injury recovery.
The wide base of Maratown shoes enhances stability, helping to prevent ankle sprains and supporting conditions such as arthritis, tendinitis, and fractures. The reinforced heel counter holds the heel in place, helps center foot alignment, and provides crucial support, especially for those with pronation or supination tendencies.
Proper foot alignment with the knees and hips reduces strain and promotes better posture. This is particularly useful for individuals experiencing balance challenges or joint pain.
Designed to bend naturally at the metatarsal area, Maratown shoes support a natural walking gait. The top rocker design promotes smooth roll-out, reducing the angle of the metatarsals during flexion. These features help alleviate forefoot pressure and are beneficial for conditions such as metatarsalgia, plantar fasciitis, and arthritis.
The drop and ergonomic shape of the sole, combined with a well-designed insole, offer targeted arch support and distribute weight evenly across the foot. This reduces strain on the plantar fascia, relieves pressure on the metatarsals, and supports the heel. Individuals with plantar fasciitis, calcaneal spurs, and arthritis find significant relief with these features.
Diabetic patients benefit from the roomy fit, which promotes circulation and prevents constriction. The adaptable design is also ideal for individuals with hallux valgus (bunions) or swelling due to arthritis.
Breathable and stretchable, the soft leather upper conforms to the foot’s shape, making it suitable for conditions such as hallux valgus, diabetes, and bunions. Minimal stitching and a stitch-free bunion area prevent irritation and pressure points, protecting sensitive skin and reducing the risk of ulcers.
Maratown shoes feature a structured sole that prevents excessive twisting, while the stiff heel base and counterfort provide stability and alignment. These elements minimize tension on tendons and prevent pronation or supination. Individuals with tendinitis, arthritis, or recovering from fractures benefit from the additional support and stability.
Maratown shoes seamlessly combine innovative features to address a wide array of foot conditions while maintaining a sophisticated, professional design. Unlike bulky orthopedic shoes, Maratown shoes are elegant, making them ideal for business or formal occasions. Crafted in Portugal, they adhere to European health and safety standards and use certified, non-hazardous materials that prioritize sustainability and foot health.
Maratown, the most comfortable dress shoes, are designed for individuals seeking stylish yet supportive footwear for daily wear.
Designed for comfort, support, and style, Maratown's running dress shoes blend advanced engineering with thoughtful design to provide a reliable solution for managing foot pain and discomfort.

When traveling, you need to pack light and have limited space for a second pair of shoes. This means finding versatile travel shoes that won’t compromise your holiday experience.
