"This is a beautiful, high-quality backpack. The straps are moderately padded without being bulky, and there are a number of useful inside pouches, compartment, etc. The size is middle-of-the-road, not bulky but large enough to fit a few books (if for academic use). I will use it in lieu of luggage for for 1-to-2 night trips. It will easily fit a couple changes of clothes, toiletries, and an iPad. It's really a nice backpack."
"These are extremely comfortable, like walking on a gym mat. My pair seem a bit short. I normally wear a 10 or 10.5 in flip flops. I got these in an 11, and they are perfect."
