wonderful shoe, but looks dirty easily

By nic3208199 Ranked #865 - Women's Technical Sandals August 23, 2009

I bought these to replace my 6 year old pair of the same that were worn beyond repair. I personally find the toe strap to be comfortable enough and essential for keeping my feet in place in the water and on hikes. I didn't like any of this year's Chaco colors, so I was very excited to find this pair. In person, they are even better looking than in the picture. Still, there is one big problem (and probably the reason why this isn't a standard Chaco color)--the color is too light! These got dirty (and dirty looking) the very first time I wore them, which was in the river. I tried to scrub out the dirt (with minimal success), but the next time I wore them (on a hike) they got even dirtier. I finally decided that I would just need to be okay with that, as I bought them for performance and not so much for fashion, but this is not a problem I ever encountered in my older (darker-colored pair) that always looked good with a spray of the hose. I still love them, but just want others to know what to expect.
