Man Who Ran Marathon In Ski Boots Getting New Pair From Blizzard

Last month, a man ran an actual 26.2 mile marathon in ski boots. 

Videos of Mike Humphreys hobbling his way through the Paris marathon have been circulating the internet for the last few weeks. Amongst the many questions that folks have had such as 'why on earth would you do this?' and 'how long did it take?' there's been at least one burning question in my mind that's now been answered. 

What state were those poor boots in after pounding pavement for 26 miles?? 

We don't know beat up Humpheys' Technica Cochise 130 boots were after the race, but the lovely folks at Blizzard-Tecnica assumed, probably correctly, that he could use a new pair.

"Major respect to @mikeyhumph who not only chased this wild idea—but did so to raise money for a friend battling Motor Neuron Disease. There’s a fresh pair of boots headed Mike’s way. He certainly earned them," wrote Blizzard-Tecnica in a social media caption,

The ski & boot brand reposted videos and photos of Humphreys during his endeavor as well as his Strava of the race to say they had sent him a new pair of boots. A truly tender moment on the 'gram.
