Ouch, a runner just completed a marathon in MSCHF’s Big Red Boots

Shortly after the announcement of a restock coming for the MSCHF Big Red Boots, a runner shared a video of themselves finishing a marathon wearing the viral shoes – and it went about as painfully as you’d expect.

YouTubers The Buttery Bros, Heber Cannon and Marston Sawyers recently completed the Hell on the Hill, a running event put on by the first man to bear crawl a marathon. But obviously, this task was amplified by the huge, comical footwear on the YouTuber’s feet that, clearly, are the furthest thing from running shoes you could probably get.

Documenting their experience, Heber Cannon is seen stepping into the Big Red Boots to tackle the half marathon. The Hell on the Hill consists of 60 laps up and down a hill, accumulating 4000 ft of elevation, but adding the massive shoes made the difficult task even more difficult. 

Weighing 3.5 lbs each, the Big Red Boots offered a huge challenge, acting as ankle weights and bulbous footwear. Facing cut-up shins, a point in the video shows serious doubts about being able to complete the marathon in the shoes, although Cannon did eventually push through the pain barrier and complete the feat.

After viewing, we probably wouldn’t recommend the Big Red Boots for a quick jog, let alone a marathon, although we didn’t exactly need too much evidence. I mean, just look at them.
