text: I hike several hours a day with kids - through the woods as well as the creek. These were perfect and comfortable the entire time. I wore them every day this summer, and they do get stinky  but after a little research I found an easy solution (http://frugalfun4boys.com/2013/06/12/the-stinky-sandal-solution/) basically:<br />1. Rinse shoes (I used a hose, but they are machine washable). 2. Sprinkle with baking soda. 3. Spray with 50/50 vinegar/water solution. 4. Let them sit. 5. Rinse with water. 6. Let them dry in the sun<br />I did that every few weeks or when I started to notice the stench, and it worked perfectly.
