Would I be able to carry shoes and a laptop? Also, does it come with a shoulder strap or is it just compatible? Thanks

Yes. I carried my work shoes(size 13), a pair of shower sliders, a 15" laptop, and my ipad in the outer pockets. They are also very good against the elements, however I always had oversized bags to.carry the electronics.

Erik - My bag has a shoulder strap on it. I truly cannot remember if it came with it or if I cannibalized another bag??? Your shoes should fit in one of the outside pockets provided you do not have NBA sized feet. The laptop is a tricky one. Depending on the size of your laptop it might fit in one of the side pockets. It will fit in the main compartment however the bag has no padding and no real good way to secure a laptop. I will say for the price there is no better garment bag.... Plus made in the USA. If I were going to carry a laptop I would buy or make a padded envelop/bag for the laptop and make it work. Erik - My bag has a shoulder strap on it.

there is no cable in the top handle as far as I can see. The zippers are medium duty, which I have not had any problems with as of yet. Yes it will easily hold an extra set of clothes. It's very roomy even with all my laptop gear included. I also carry several books, dvd's, wet wipes, a compass, cell, water, small tarp, poncho and space blankit, along with pens, paper, pencils, and other assort boy scout accoutrements. If anyone had experienced Dell's largest 18inch xps system, then you will know that particular laptop is 3 times bigger than anything currently out there, that laptop is HUGE. A boat anchor as some have called it, fits very nicely with all the accessories. I also carry quite a bit of video equipment too. I very good buy for me, and I dont give away cudos on much, I'm extremely hard to please.

you can but the bag does not have a cover or much padding. I don't think I would carry my laptop in there all the time. In a pinch it would fit but not a bag that I would carry it all the time. There are no slots or compartments on the inside so other stuff would have to be on top or underneath.

It is a full sized backpack. You can certainly fit a lap top in there. In the main compartment there is a padded area for computer. Still plenty of room left in pack for clothes, bathroom items, food. I use it for 7 days of travel w/o any problem. Hope this info is helpful. :)

It has shoulder straps so you can carry it on your back like a backpack. It also has a padded handle for carrying it by hand. It is light weight so I don't see a problem with you being able to carry it.

While it's not INTENDED for computers, since it obviously has no padding, if you're VERY careful you can absolutely carry 15" laptops in it. My daughter sometimes commutes to college on the train with her very heavy 17+" laptop...so far so good (2.75 yrs)!

It comes with what I would call a shoulder strap. The bag has various places on it that you can connect to, but if you wanted to carry it as a backpack, it may be more trouble than what it is worth in trying to rig something up.

The shoes will fit fine, but I think the biggest laptop you could fit would be a 13", 15 would be slightly too big.

The bag is roomy enough to hold a small laptop however it would offer the laptop virtually no protection since there is no sleeve and the material on the bag is designed to be lightweight and thin. Also the bag will pull on your back a significant amount since it's not designed to carry a heavy load. The straps feel like they are great quality so I don't think they would rip or anything like that but it may not be comfortable to carry for long distances. I don't think this is a great bag for a laptop as it is not designed for one but could it carry a laptop probably, could it carry a laptop comfortably and safely probably not.

definitely... It's a laptop bag, and I've seen people carry bags bigger than this as well. More than everything i think it comes down to the weight.

Probably not. It's petty wide to carry with a shoulder strap. Maybe use wheels somehow but it is not heavy empty

I wouldn't put a lap top in it: though it would FIT, the bag could swing against the walker, causing impact to the laptop. I DO carry my cell phone, glasses, wallet, papers, whatever. There's enough room in it. If you put it on properly, it really does not slip too much, but momentum from a swing through gait does definitely bounce it around a bit. So no laptop!

I own the bag, have a 15" laptop, and work with computers. I would not recommend transporting any type of computing device in a bike rack bag. If you need to carry the laptop with you as you ride, here is what I would do: Find the smallest, tightest-fitting backpack that I could stand, in which the laptop fits securely, and transport it in this backpack.

The portion of the strap that would be on your shoulder is about 2.75" wide. The strap does have some padding in the shoulder area of the strap. It is not heavily padded but I think has sufficient padding. I don't use my bag daily since my laptop is used mostly in my home. So I haven't used it the way you do during your commute to work.

it's really a laptop briefcase rather than a travelling bag. I guess if you limit yourself to an extra shirt and set of unmentionables and your toiletries are fairly minimal it would work fine. if you need a second biz suit, you're probably out of luck.

Laptop for sure. Small lunchbox that is not rigid - most likely. Men's shoes, no. And women's shoes would be a stretch unless they are small ballet flats. Think of this as a slightly roomier briefcase with wheels. If you start to jam it full, it bulges and the zippers will not close. Hope this helps!

The strap is adjustable with a sliding buckle. I can hang it straight down from the shoulder to about belt line or open it wider to hang across the chest and the top of the bag will be at about the belt line on my trousers. It works well and carries a lot besides the laptop; peripherals, cords, CDs, etc.
