Chris Howett, more aptly known as Chris in Crocs in his latest video, set himself an ambitious goal. Running the Manchester Marathon, sub-3 hours in Crocs.

　　To add an extra degree of intrigue, Howett has never run a marathon —in any footwear— before.

　　Adorned in rubber ducky-yellow Crocs with a lightning McQueen charm (and matching socks), Howett was fully aware of how silly hed look.

　　I mean, who would be stupid enough to try to run a marathon in Crocs? the British-born man asked in his recent video. That person would be me.
