RE: [RC] [theenduranceopen] Red Easy Boots - Katrina Mosshammer

I have had good luck using colored duct tape. Really easy to spot in the
grass and now they are available in several different colors.

Yes, having just lost 2 black ones on different rides recently, and 
having myself and 2 friends not be able to find them in a short 
distance (here is where I still had 4, I can tell by the boot prints 
in the dirt, here is where I realize I lost one), I bought some 
flourescent pink spray paint. I'm going to try that next. May look 
goofy, may not last real long, and I may get teased, but so what? A 
can of spray paint is cheaper than an easyboot, and lasts a long time.

I tried spray-painting a pair a few years ago and the paint flaked off
almost instantly. Didn't last through a 10-mi training ride.  I used
surveyor's spray paint in the can that paints upside down, so maybe it was
just the wrong kind of paint, but I had the impression that the action of
the rubber flexing with the horse's foot caused the paint to flake off, and
I never tried again.

If you get it to work, let me know what kind of paint you used!
