My name is Fabien, and I’m the founder of Maratown, the running dress shoes. Overuse injuries are quite common, but these issues can be resolved by wearing the right kind of shoes. However, finding comfortable dress shoes for standing all day can be challenging, as most cushioned shoes are designed for running.
When I transitioned from a sports career to a technical sales role, I faced the same dilemma. Years of running on concrete weakened my knees, leading to the onset of metatarsalgia—a condition where the bottom of the metatarsals in your foot becomes painful and inflamed. It was difficult to find the right kind of dress shoes to alleviate my discomfort. A few years later, the idea of creating a company focused on cushioning in shoes came to me, and Maratown was born.
Typically, dress shoes are made with hard soles and offer only about 5mm of cushioning under the heel and forefoot. This lack of padding can lead to discomfort and long-term foot strain. Studies show that "wearing cushioning shoes can reduce landing-related rear foot impact forces, potentially lowering injury risks" (1).
