Yep, no doubt Tom is right about that (small feet make you go faster) in C-1. Plus, I'm thinking that sitting on my size 9's is a lot better than sitting on a set of size 14's. That's just part of the reason I hate booties (they make me have bigger feet to sit on).
And I should have pointed out in my original post that our MEGA event in CO (Fibark/USA Nationals/Team Trails) in June 2009 are both designated as international races (although I'm pretty confident that no one will care if you wear booties).

John is right about the footwear rule- I don't think anyone in the U.S.
will be tightly enforcing it. We may see a Team Trials organizer
saying "If you plan on racing internationally, you are expected to
follow all rules for international racing, including airbag and bootie
rules." But I don't think anyone will get disqualified (probably).
By the way, those with big feet should think about ways to reduce foot
size. Smaller feet make you a faster C-1 paddler.
