![]() There’s a separate shoe bag included or you can use the lunchbox compartment to hold your shoes in isolation from the rest of your belongings. It includes its own lunch box with a designated compartment, a small back pocket, four internal pockets (two slip and two zippered), and a laptop sleeve. If you’re looking for a backpack to take to work that’s simply loaded with compartments, the MinkeeBlue Nichet may be your best choice. This may be a bit bulky on a shorter frame and color options are limited. The Details: 3.42 pounds | 40 liters | Water-resistant tarpaulin (90 percent polyester, 10 percent nylon) But the black design looks sleek and it sports more than 20 different features so you can find a spot for everything. We did have some discomfort while carrying it due to the stiffness of the straps, but the hip belt was helpful, and we found that the bag scuffed a bit after being tossed around. ![]() The rectangular shape is especially easy to pack, allowing folded clothes to stay organized. You also get a separate detachable hip belt and laundry bag so you can be both comfortable and clean. It includes not one, but two shoe pockets, along with a laptop sleeve and a slew of other compartments for smaller items. If you need a truly large backpack, opt for the Nomatic Travel Bag, which fit everything on our list with room to spare (and felt like it could hold up to a week’s worth of clothing). The stiff straps don’t make it the most comfortable to carry, and it scuffed a bit when tossed around. The Details: 2.4 pounds (nylon), 3 pounds (vegan leather) | 18 liters | Nylon twill or microfiber vegan leather The vegan leather option we tested comes in five different shades and there’s also a nylon style available in four shades. ![]() Overall, it feels well-made and the features are all helpful and thoughtful, though we do wish it had an external water bottle pocket. If you’re going for a hand carry, the padded top handles are also quite comfortable. It also feels durable, standing up to our drop test, and we think it would easily ward off stains or spills. The vegan leather started out a little stiff, but it’s still super comfortable to wear and we found it softened up after prolonged use. The design is flexible enough to feel at home in-flight or on your commute, and the front detachable pouch contains multiple small pockets to stay organized. There’s a waterproof privacy compartment to tuck shoes into and a hidden back pocket for small items. There’s also a separate laptop sleeve to keep your tech safe. It easily fit everything on our packing list with plenty of space to spare, without even having to use the front pocket. If you’re coordinating your days’ outfits with your accessories, the Monos Metro is our pick for the most stylish backpack with a shoe compartment. The Details: 2 pounds | 26 liters | 70D recycled nylon with non-PFC durable water-repellent finish Choose from four different colors, including solid black, a brown logo print, gardenia white, and sage green. Plus, it comes with The North Face’s lifetime guarantee. It’s even water-resistant so you don’t have to worry if you get caught out in the rain. Overall, this backpack both feels and looks great wherever you’re carrying it. It comes with a sternum strap as well, though we found it a little dainty and not very supportive. You can also slip it over your luggage handle with the pass-through sleeve. The top handles snap together so you can carry it as a tote and the design also lets the bag stand up independently when you need to set it down. ![]() ![]() There are plenty of pockets (so many that if you get lost in pockets, this may not be the bag for you) - felt-lined ones for electronics and sunglasses, the bottom shoe compartment, internal and external zipper and mesh pockets for smaller items, and two water bottle pockets. We were extremely impressed by the amount of storage available, immediately noting how well-organized it felt. This may be one of our favorite backpacks we’ve ever tested. The sternum strap could be more supportive. ![]()
