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).

For professionals—be they entrepreneurs, doctors, businessmen, professors, or anyone else on their feet all day—finding the right dress shoes goes far beyond style alone. The weight of each shoe plays a critical role in how your feet and legs will feel after long hours of standing or walking. Below, we’ll break down the common dress shoe sole materials—leather, EVA, PU, and rubber—and provide updated weight comparisons from a range of well-known brands.
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. The ideal travel shoes need to be comfortable for long-distance walking and dressy enough for dinners or parties. They should also be breathable and water-resistant or water-repellent. At Maratown, we noticed that such shoes are rare in the current market and strive to offer the perfect solution: stylish and functional travel shoes.
Imagine stepping onto a busy city street, your feet enveloped in a cloud-like cushion that absorbs every impact from the unforgiving pavement. The quest for ultra-comfortable dress shoes is not just about luxury—it’s about reducing foot fatigue, improving stability, and enhancing overall foot health. Studies have shown that "wearing cushioning shoes can reduce landing-related rear foot impact forces, decreasing stress on joints and muscles"
