I have a pair of sidi dominators that I bought for touring purposes (I ride genius 5 normally). I didn't realise that they had much less ventilation than the genius's. Turns out a long day in the saddle leads to a smell capable of knocking out a dung beetle.
Am going touring next week so need a quick fix. I'm thinking about poking holes through all the holes already there. These holes currently are blocked off by a second layer of lorica and hence are useless. see photo
I can't think of anything for the bits at the front of the shoe (the two U shaped bits), would be nice if they were mesh like my genius's but I foresee my ruining the shoe if I start poking holes out there.
Any thoughts? Am I going to ruin the shoes?
