How about a MedicAlert tag if you have other medical problems? I have a MedicAlert sports band. It's a nylon band with a plastic clip. The tag itself is metal, but the band is between you and the tag.

As an ER doc, I HIGHLY recommend some wearable ID, whether it's a Road ID or MedicAlert tag. The whole reason for wearing something like that is if you're incapacitated and can't give any info. If you have a head injury, the paramedics are going to scoop and go, not spend time looking through your stuff to find ID. The police might, but who knows how long that will take. I would go with a wrist band over the ankle, which might get cut off with your clothing. The necklace would be a close second. The shoe tag has a good chance of getting lost and not seen.
