Have you ever found yourself torn between wearing shoes that look professional but leave your feet aching, and sneakers that feel great but clash with your suit? We've all been there. My name is Fabien, and I’m the founder of Maratown. As a running enthusiast and former athlete, I love the plush cushioning of maximalist running shoes. However, dress shoes—and even dressed-up sneakers—on the market didn’t offer great cushioning (and still don’t)
In 2015, I embarked on the journey of creating the running dress shoe—a shoe that combines a maximalist, ultra-cushioned sole with a refined, minimalist upper—ensuring you look sharp in the boardroom or any formal setting. The Maratown you see today is the result of years of development, productions, collaborations with podiatrists, manufacturers, and scientists, and of course trials and feedback from customers. The design, proportions, and every single detail have a purpose: to make the shoe exceptionally comfortable, supportive, and durable.
Our belief is simple: with Maratown on your feet, you can walk effortlessly all day without sacrificing style.
