What are Shoe Tags? [Customize Your Shoes]


Shoe Tags

If you’ve ever wanted to make your shoes stand out from everyone else, you do several things to customize your shoes. Most people use laces to add color and style, some color or paint their shoes, and others use tags. Tags are a way to add customized words to your shoes.

Shoe tags are metal tags that attach to your shoelaces and have writing or images on them. Some tags are for decoration and some can be customized similarly to an ID tag. Runners, gym users, medical ID users, and others use these tags to identify their shoes themselves and to decorate their shoes.

Getting a shoe tag can be great for running in a marathon or for students at a school who often take off their shoes. If you need to ensure that someone doesn’t mistake your shoes for someone else’s, these are great to have. There are many ways to use tags. Sometimes you just want to stand out from the crowd. 


Shoe Tags for Runners

N/A

When you are in a race with lots of other runners, things can get lost easily. You might have to put on your running shoes and take them off a couple of times. A tag with your name on it can help you and others find the correct shoe. 

If your shoe somehow gets lost because you’re in a hurry and forgot where you left them, having your name and number on your shoe tag can help you get them back. 

Some people might just want a running shoe tag with inspirational words on them. You can show how you feel about running and inspire others. Then when you want to find your shoes, they should be easier to identify with the metal tag. 


Shoe Tags for Medical Information

N/A

If you have diabetes, epilepsy, heart conditions, or a medical condition, that would be helpful to know for those helping you when you have a medical emergency. Having a medical bracelet is helpful, but if you forget to wear it, then having it on your shoes will help those who first see you’re having problems. 

Medical personnel can better identify a course of action for those who have clearly identified medical information on their shoe tags. A tag with your name and the condition you have might help in circumstances where personal identifying information is not available.  

If you can talk and have a medical situation, you might be able to point to your shoes and signal someone to call medical personnel. 

Hopefully, you won’t need to use your shoe tags but if it’s needed, you will have at least some way that people may be able to notice how best to help you during a medical problem.  


Shoe Tags for the Gym

When you go to the gym, you need to share the locker room with lots of other people. A busy gym will have a lot of people in and out of the locker room all the time. 

If you’re worried about your shoes getting misplaced or taken by someone else, having tags on them could help. 

Sometimes I’m in a hurry when leaving the gym. I have forgotten things a couple of times. If I need to change my shoes before leaving the gym, I might leave my gym shoes in the locker or on the floor accidentally. 

The gym I go to clears out the lockers each night. If you leave something in a locker, it might get lost forever. Having a tag will give the gym workers someone to call, so you can recover your lost shoes. 

Sometimes valuables can get taken on purpose or mistakenly by others. Having a shoe tag can act as a deterrent, stopping others from taking your shoes. 


Shoe Tags for Decoration 

N/A
AD

Sometimes you just want to show everyone your unique shoes. Maybe you want to think about something inspiring when you go running. There are many pre-made quotes you can choose from to decorate your shoes.  

These will give your shoes a special feature that makes them stand out from everyone else. Every time you put on your shoe, you’ll be reminded of the words that are written on the tags.  

Whether you want to show your pride in something, to remember something inspirational, or to just have fun with your shoes, a shoe tag might be something you want for yourself or to show others. 

Some people might just want a running shoe tag with inspirational words on them. You can show how you feel about running and inspire others. 


Shoe Tags for Your Name

N/A

You can get a tag with just your name on it. This will make your shoes look like they were custom shoes made just for you. If you use the right color and shoelace, I think these types of shoe tags make your shoes look fancy. 

You might want your name on your shoes to stylize them, to help parents and teachers identify children’s shoes in situations where there are lots of shoes. Knowing whose shoes are who can make a big difference sometimes.

If you have some expensive shoes that you love to wear just for fashion, adding a custom name tag can bring that extra element that helps your shoes feel even more special. 


Final Thoughts

Shoe tags can be helpful for shoe identification and medical information, and for others, they can bring a new look to your shoes. I like that you can customize some shoe tags to match your individual needs. 

A shoe tag will help you and others to find your shoes quicker and may prevent them from getting lost or stolen. If you’re looking to use a shoe tag, they might be a good idea for your shoes. Many people find them helpful for specific purposes and as decoration.
