The Bottom Line

There is no reason that every runner shouldn’t have an ID when they run, and the Shoe ID is a great one. You can have more than one phone number, your address, your blood type… there is room for so much! It’s also very light and there is no flop (no bouncing up and down on your shoe while you run).

Guide Review - Shoe ID

I love that the Shoe ID is reflective as well as carrying ID. It’s twice as safe for us runners. It’s light enough to keep from being problematic (or throwing off your biomechanics) and it is laser engraved so it doesn’t smear in water or chip off.

Additionally, it is guaranteed. It should last through water (fresh or salty), weather, and a lifetime of running. It is well worth the price it costs.

I suggest that you include your name, your phone number, your email address, your blood type, and any helpful medical information (drug allergies, diabetes, other medical conditions, etc.).
