I have used many things, from shoes to chalk but now I use those little flags that you stick in the ground, I think that they are supposed to be used for irrigation. They work great.

When I was in 9th grade, some kid used a Shrunken Skull. That was about the weirdest thing I have ever seen used for a mark.

One of my junior's found out why you don't want to use shoes - was having a great meet, looking ready to pr by a foot, and when the bar went up, he ran through 3 times saying "my run felt off." We pulled the tape measure back out and sure enough, someone had moved his shoes 2 feet back! Needless to say, he now uses either tape or something that sticks in the ground.
