They were muddy and they had gotten wet from having to cross a stream. It wasn't as if the soles alone got muddy -- the entire shoe had hit the mud. Not wanting to get the interior of our rental car dirty from the shoes, I put them in the trunk where they soured within a couple of days. So, there were several reasons for tossing these, but I would have tossed them just on the mud alone as I didn't want to spare the vacation time and effort to try to clean them.

Thanks! Very helpful. I'm puzzled about one thing though - why would you have to throw your sneakers away if they got muddy? Couldn't you just wash them? Great list. Thanks! Very helpful.

There's probably more restaurants in Honolulu alone than all of the rest of Hawaii. I believe I've seen chicken on just about every menu in Hawaii, so you shouldn't have any trouble finding chicken dishes. Check out each of the links listed here: http://www.govisithawaii.com/oahu-where-to-eat/ to get some ideas. That should help guide you to restaurants that sound good to you.
