2 part epoxy. If you're really fancy you can stuff done carbon fiber in there before you seal it over with epoxy, but it's not necessary

I've used 2 part epoxy and Tiger hair. Tiger hair is long strand fiberglass body filler and I mix it with the epoxy. Know if you go the fiberglass route you will want a hardening catalist. I would suggest putting a drill bit in the hole, if you can, and cleaning it up. It will adhere better to newer cuts. I then put painter's tape on the inside of the boot with duct tape over it and place it upside down. Mix the epoxy separately and the same for tiger hair. Then mix them together and work like hell to get it done before it hardens. I fill the holes and use toothpicks to push the glass/epoxy down. After around 5-10 mins, depending on brand, you can sand it flush. I will apply a couple coats of paint and clear to it as well, but that's just me. I have done this with a handful of skates.
