I'm curious to know how the straps hold up to dirt, etc. The pair I want has very light colored straps (cream/black). Will the dirt make them look dingy quickly, or are they easy to clean up after a day on the trails?

I have a black and purple pair. I would think if you are wearing them to hike, a light colored strap is going to look dirty after a while no matter how you clean them. Even my straps are a little dirty, although it's probably not very noticeable to anyone but me.

I LOVE mine! I have a pair of blue ones and a pair of green ones. They do get dirty but a dunk in water (lake, stream, ocean, sink, washer) and they're clean and pretty again. I wear them hiking and kayaking and pretty much all the time if shoes are required. Lol

I have two pair. One is pretty light, which would show dirt, but the black shows dead skin and lotion gunk--gross! I just throw both of them in the washer and air dry them when they need it.

I think my black pair looks grosser than my light blue pair! But I love them anyway!

My DD has two pairs and she wears them all the time. They don't look bad at all. I have a coral pair. I have been wearing them all summer and they still look new. I am not even sure she has washed her's. But she has worn them in the lake and ocean. I think her's are red/black and other pair is orange.

I do, but mine aren't light in color. They are about 8 -9 years old and still are in perfect shape. I toss them through the washer frequently.

My sister has a couple pairs and loves those things. They are pretty durable and I don't remember hers looking too worn, and she is hard on shoes.
