FAT BOTTOM
THE 5-STAR SPECS INNSBRUCK:
The sole is fat to make it soak up shock. It's foam to make it flexible and light.
One look at Fat Bottom and you can see that the Specs Innsbruck is a. running shoe with a real difference.
The Fat Bottom.
The Innsbruck sits on the exclusive Specs Polyflex outsole: a fat, flexible, lightweight shock absorber of Mobay Bayflex®Polyurethane. Add the bounce-back cushioning of our perforated Poron® insole and you've got a shoe that is remarkably comfortable, extremely supportive, and delight-fully flexible and light.
1st in Flexibility.
1st in Durability.
For sheer performance, Fat Bottom is state-of-the-art. Among all men's training flats tested in the rigorous 1980 Runner's World Shoe Survey, it ranked Number One in both Flexibility and Sole Wear. And rated 5 Stars overall. Hefty praise for the new Fat Bottom.
You might expect to pay more for a shoe that out-performs and outwears such tough, talented competition. But thanks to its revolutionary simplicity of design- and the Specs commitment to real quality at a realistic cost- this just isn't so.
The Skinny Price.
The Innsbruck is priced $5 to $30 below all other men's 5-star shoes. You can own a pair of Fat Bottoms for a skinny $25 or less. Isn't that a nice, fat surprise?
