A backpack with a shoe compartment has a separate zippered section that keeps a pair of shoes away from clean clothes, your laptop and your documents. Gym shoes after a workout, work shoes you change into at the office or an extra pair for vacation go into their own compartment, and the dirt and smell stay there. This page has travel, work and sports backpacks, most with a padded compartment for a 15 to 17 inch laptop.
Where is the shoe compartment?
In travel backpacks it is usually at the bottom of the bag, with a zipper opening on the side or underneath, so you can put shoes in and take them out without opening the main compartment. In sports backpacks it can be a front or bottom compartment with ventilation holes that let sweaty shoes breathe. Either way it is separated from your clothes, and the shoes don't touch anything else.
Which shoe-compartment backpack suits you?
For travel and flights: the Lisbon opens like a suitcase and expands from 28 to 38 liters, and The Trevik is a wheeled backpack with a combination lock. For work and business trips: the Mantova expands from 25 to 30 liters, with spring-loaded straps and a compartment for wet clothes or shoes. For the gym and sports: the women's Granada with a padded tennis racket sleeve and a shoe compartment, and the compact 21-liter Bralthex Max. For people who carry a lot: the Gravion, Drovanis Xtreme and 35-liter Inthyros Quantum, for laptops up to 16 or 17 inches.
Keeping the compartment clean and fresh
Shake out your shoes before packing them, and let wet shoes dry first. When you get home, take them out and leave the compartment open to air. Every so often wipe it with a damp cloth and a little mild soap. A thin cloth shoe bag inside the compartment keeps it even cleaner.
Frequently asked questions
What shoe size fits in the compartment?
It depends on the model: the large travel backpacks have a wider compartment, and the compact bags fit low-cut shoes and light training shoes. Each model's dimensions are on its page, and if you're not sure, message us on WhatsApp and we'll check for you.
Will the shoe smell reach my clothes?
The compartment closes with its own zipper and is separate from the main compartment, so your clothes never touch the shoes. Avoid leaving sweaty shoes in the bag overnight, and air out the compartment after use.
Can I use the compartment for other things?
Yes. Without shoes it holds gym clothes, a towel, a swimsuit, dirty laundry at the end of a trip or anything you'd rather keep apart from the rest.
Is there a backpack with both a shoe compartment and a laptop compartment?
Yes, most models on this page also have a padded laptop compartment: the Lisbon and Mantova for 15-inch laptops, the Granada, Bralthex Max and Drovanis Xtreme up to 16 inches, and the Gravion and Inthyros Quantum up to 17 inches.
Can I take the backpack on a flight?
These backpacks can fly as carry-on, depending on the model's dimensions and your airline's limits. The Lisbon, for example, is designed specifically for flights and opens like a suitcase.
