Here’s a cool old ad from 1982 for the Specs Marathons running shoes.
Ad info is below:
Guaranteed. 3,000 miles or 6 months
If the soles wear out before 3,000 miles or 6 months, we'll replace the shoes free.
Marathons. We think you'll wear out before they do. That's why they're the only shoes in the world sold with this great guarantee. But there's a lot more to them than great soles. The light-weight construction gives you superb comfort and flexibility. There's a removable, contoured insole, made of memory foam and covered with nylon for extra support. The outsole is designed for better flexibility on the ball of the foot and comfort on all surfaces. We've even built in a rigid heel counter for better stability, and a rubber sponge midsole and wedge to provide better shock absorption. The price won't shock you, either. The fact is, it's the most comfortable feature of our Marathons.
