Description
Marla Marlatan — naturally tanned leather insoles that keep feet dry, fresh and well supported.
There’s something lovely about a proper leather insole, and the Marla Marlatan is a fine example. It’s made from naturally tanned leather with no harmful chrome ingredients, so it’s a cleaner, more natural choice that feels warm and comfortable underfoot.
Leather is naturally absorbent, and the Marlatan makes the most of that: it soaks up moisture and neutralises odour so your feet and shoes stay fresh through the day. It also adds a gentle layer of cushioning and support, which makes longer walks easier and helps reduce the risk of foot fatigue.
I recommend it for smart shoes, everyday footwear and boots alike, anywhere you’d appreciate the natural comfort and freshness that only real leather gives.
Every insole I stock has to earn its place, and the Marla Marlatan does. If you’re unsure about sizing or fit, I’m always happy to help you choose. Order before 5pm and we’ll dispatch the same day, delivery is free on UK orders over £50, and if they’re not quite right you have a full 60 days to return them.
Why choose the Marla Marlatan?
- Naturally tanned leather — Made from leather tanned without harmful chrome, so it’s a more natural, skin-friendly choice that breathes and wears in nicely over time.
- Highly absorbent — Leather naturally draws in moisture, keeping your feet drier and more comfortable, even during longer days on the go.
- Neutralises odour — By absorbing moisture and helping keep the inside of your shoe drier, the insole tackles the damp conditions that cause unpleasant smells.
- Gentle support and cushioning — The Marlatan adds a soft, supportive layer underfoot that makes walking long distances easier and helps reduce the risk of tired, aching feet.
- Everyday versatility — Slim enough for smart shoes yet comfortable in everyday footwear and boots, so you get natural leather comfort in almost any pair.
- Moulds to your foot — With regular wear the leather gently shapes to your foot for an increasingly personalised, comfortable feel.
How to use the Marla Marlatan
- Remove any loose insole already in your shoe.
- Compare the Marla Marlatan to your shoe or old insole and trim to size if needed, cutting a little at a time.
- Place the insole in with the leather side facing up and smooth it flat into the footbed.
- Wear them regularly so the leather moulds gently to your foot for a personalised feel.
- Air your shoes overnight to let the leather dry out and stay fresh for longer.

It means the leather has been tanned without harmful chrome ingredients, using a more natural process. It’s a cleaner, more skin-friendly choice while still giving you all the comfort and breathability of real leather.
Will they help with sweaty or smelly feet?
Yes. Leather is naturally absorbent, so the Marlatan soaks up moisture and helps keep the inside of your shoe drier, which tackles the damp conditions that cause odour.
Do they add cushioning as well?
They do. As well as keeping feet dry and fresh, the insole adds a gentle layer of support and cushioning that makes longer walks more comfortable.
