Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear slippers.

Nicknamed ‘Slipper Brother,’ this man managed to finish yesterday's Shanghai Marathon while wearing tan flip-flops sandals. A user shared photos of the man running on Weibo, claiming that he completed the race in around three hours. We hope he didn’t regret this decision at the end.

A flipping sandaling good time, indeed!

UPDATE (October 31, 2016 at 5.45pm): A previous version of this story referred to the type of shoes the man was wearing as 'flip flops.' We deeply apologize for the misidentification of the shoe, and have updated the post accordingly.
