A Father and Son Wore Crocs to Run a Half-Marathon
A teenager named Benjamin Pachev may have finished in the top 20 of a popular half-marathon in Indianapolis on Saturday, but it’s his footwear that’s getting the most attention: Pachev, 18, ran the race in a pair of Crocs.
Pachev’s father, software engineer Sasha Pachev, also ran the race in Crocs — $20 classics, the same style his son wore — and tells the Indianapolis Star that he accidentally discovered Crocs worked well as running shoes.
