To alleviate hot feet last year I pierced lots of holes into my shoes with a soldering iron. This was ok but could still be improved on.

Simple solution is to cut the tongue out.

I know know how the Isley Brothers feel.

Following the shoe success I thought I'd improve my shorts of many holes by making big ones.

Once again a success. It's not the amount of holes it's the size that counts. They holes look a bit ragged which is'nt a problem as know I know it works I have another pair of shorts to attack. I shall heat a big bolt up and melt holes using that.

Ruining, the word you're looking for is 'ruining'.

Give an Englishman a shed and there's nothing he can't achieve.

Will keep an eye out on the classifieds for a pair of shorts with some minor wear and tear and holes soon...

Appreciate you are 'upcycling' old kit, so not really an issue but you can buy kit that does all this and doesn't cost that much.

I would back away slowly if approached by the OP, concerned he was infested with some form of MTB kit eating worm.

You should piss in them for the full effect.

You know those long zips on the side of your shorts?

The ones that aren't a pocket? Try opening the zip. 🙂

I've improved the long zip as well by cutting the mesh out and also the pockets.

Less is more.

For more effective and easier solution would be to not wear any shorts.

I've tried this and, as a result, the police say I can't pick up my children from school any more. 1/10, would not recommend.

Not at this time of year - the season hasn't begun yet. Wait 4 weeks until the summer holidays begin and you'll have parents queuing up to offer you their kids...

Because I'd look silly in lycra.

.... and you don't look silly wearing shoes full of holes and shorts that appear moth eaten?
