When traveling, you need to pack light and have limited space for a second pair of shoes. This means finding a versatile pair of 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.
Sport shoes might seem like an option, but they often lack versatility and dressiness. Dressy sneakers may look good but typically don’t provide the support and comfort of running shoes. On the other hand, dress shoes do not provide comfort and are too dressy to pair with travel clothes. Maratown’s shoes strike the perfect balance, combining the sole of a running shoe with an elegant, dressy design.
The Perfect Fit
The first consideration is the fit. Derby-style shoes, which feature a quarter attached to the lace above the instep, offer a better and more secure fit compared to other lace-up styles such as Oxfords or non-lace-up shoes. This ensures that your shoes remain snug and comfortable, even during extended walks.
Comfort in Travel Shoes
After fit, comfort comes from a cushioned sole, flexibility at the metatarsal, and a soft upper. The shoes should provide ample support around the heel and under the arch, evenly distributing pressure across the sole. Stability is equally important, with a wider sole. Flexibility, concentrated at the forefoot rather than the middle of the shoe, combined with a rocker sole, makes walking easier. One of the most defining features of Maratown shoes is their fluffy cushioning, which runs from heel to toe, offering a plush and responsive walking experience.
Maratown’s soles are crafted from thick, soft foam that absorbs impact with every step. This material also maintains its bouncy properties over time, ensuring that each step feels dynamic and light.
Breathability and Water Resistance
A good travel shoe must also be breathable and water-resistant. While most running shoes are made of textile and fall short in terms of water resistance, Maratown shoes excel. Though Maratown low-cut shoes are not approved as fully water-resistant, their construction—featuring a leather upper cemented to a thick sole with minimal stitching—allows moisture to evaporate from your feet while preventing water from seeping in. This makes them ideal for all-weather travel.
Maratown’s travel shoes are the ultimate combination of style, comfort, and practicality, making them the best dressy walking shoes for your next trip. Learn more about Maratown’s innovative travel shoes and how to get your pair today.

When it comes to running shoes, brands like Hoka, Adidas, and Nike have earned their reputations for comfort and performance. Their shoes are often designed with cutting-edge technology to provide maximum support, cushioning, and a responsive feel that’s unmatched in the athletic shoe industry. But despite their success in producing highly comfortable footwear for runners, none of these giants have ventured into creating shoes that combine the same level of comfort with a more refined, dressy aesthetic for professional environments.
Have you noticed how TV presenters, car salespeople, and even top executives are increasingly pairing sneakers with their suits? In today’s fast-paced work environments, comfort has become essential for professionals who spend long hours on their feet. However, traditional dress shoes often fail to provide the support and cushioning people need, while sneakers—known for their comfort—are increasingly seen as too casual for formal settings. As work attire trends shift toward more casual outfits, professionals like real estate agents, doctors, salespeople, and executives are caught between the need for comfort and maintaining a polished, professional look. Maratown solves this dilemma by combining a cushioned running shoe sole with a stylish, minimalist dress shoe upper, allowing you to enjoy comfort without compromising on style.
In a world that has traded boardroom meetings for Zoom calls, the dress shoe has struggled to find its place. Imagine a business professional who once meticulously polished his Oxfords to complement a tailored suit, now opting for sleek, comfortable sneakers as his daily uniform. This shift is not merely a change in personal style—it reflects a profound transformation in the global footwear market.
