Hort grit or sand in the bottom will weight them so that they won't fall over, and help drainage. You certainly won't want to wear them again. You may want to add a few more holes also.

If you have a piece of iron/knitting needle, you could heat it gently then you can poke it through the sole of your boot, it will melt the rubber gently! Have fun.

scroll down to the bottom of the page and press W then from the list choose Wellies --- when you've finished ( and you may be some time!) let us know what you think!
