sibosero, I dont have them anymore...I drilled 15 holes. The best advise I can give you if to use a lot bigger drill bit than you think you need...The rubber will close up around the hole and it wont drain. And take the sole out before you drill...

its easy man jus get a drill bit small enough to leave a hole but not large enough to tear up the sole, put 10=15 all over the bottom of it and one in the heel, took me like 2 mins at the most

sibosero, what i did which really helped weight was instead of drilling holes, i cut the material out of the tongue and it makes the shoe a lot better in my opinion

sibosero, Generally you cant really see the holes...Just take a drill...and drill some holes...Take a hose and fill the shoe up. If it doesnt drain, use a larger bit. But really it isnt worth it. Unless that are super super heavy...

sibosero, If you think about it...your foot takes up most of the volume in the inside the shoe where the water would puddle...so the foam inside the shoe is your enemy...

It works good for awhile till massive amounts of sand and rock get in your way.
