i really like the feeling of my etnies but they keep in alot of water. i was wondering what was the most effective way to make drainage holes? i was thinking using those bits that cut holes in wood, just a really small one? if anyone knows what im talking about
thanks

i'd drill some in the sides of the soles, making sure you can see them from the inside of the shoe so water drains out easily.

not really needed. drilling a small hole in your sole isn't gonna let out much if any water

I'm with TWG. If you drill a hole on the bottom then step on the sole to skate, the hole will be blocked yet again. But if you're going to drill any holes, make sure you're not wearing the shoe! lol
