Step 3Cut holes for the straps
Using your chisel, punch holes for the straps as close to the edge of the sandals as you dare.
You'd be suprised how tough the tire is, so you can really get away with getting really close to the edge (granted, I'm not sure how mine will wear, but I'm not worried about them at all).
Then, using a utility knife, but the tread out from the strap hole to the edge of the sandal. This keeps the strap off the ground, at least a little bit, so you're not walking on it.
You might want to also use your utility knife to enlarge the strap hole. The hardest part of making these sandals is pushing the straps through, so cutting a little extra probably wouldn't hurt.
