Who’s Shoes ID™  Puts Your Kid’s Feet on Safety Street

By Murray D. Laurie

We put ID tags on our pets: why not our kids?  Who’s Shoes ID™ tags for children’s shoes may be the coolest way yet to give parents an extra measure of security and kids an extra level of safety.   Each pair of colorful bands with Velcro fasteners has a discreet inner label that can be filled out with essential information in indelible ink.  The Who’s Shoes ID™ kit also contains a photo ID card for parents to carry and instructions for gathering and storing DNA samples in case the child is abducted or missing.

Who’s Shoes ID™ tags help traveling families stay connected and are as vital a safety precaution as seat belts and bicycle helmets.  They fit on most shoes and come with a list of safety tips that help parents coach their kids on what to do in emergency situations, such as showing their ID tag to another mother with children or a uniformed person.  A cell phone number printed on the inner label may be all it takes to reunite the parent and child.  Information about a child’s allergies or special medical needs included on the label may save a life.

It’s not hard to imagine your youngster getting temporarily “lost” at a theme park, busy shopping mall, or on a school field trip: statistics indicate that a child is lost from their parents every 40 seconds.  An accident away from home could put your child in an emergency room with no identification or way to quickly contact you, thus delaying immediate medical treatment.   

These easy-to-use Who’s Shoes ID™ tags are not just for children.  Joggers and runners, who seldom carry personal identification with them, can slip the ID tags over their shoelaces and be prepared in case of an accident or medical emergency.   Alzheimer’s patients who are inclined to wander could wear these ID tags on their shoes to insure that they too return home safely. 

Each Who’s Shoes ID™ kit contains 2 shoe ID bands, ID card and safety tips.  They retail online for $7.99 and can be ordered on the internet at www.whosshoesid.com.
