From work to the gym: a bag that separates shoes and clothes from work essentials
Finish work and head straight to the gym. A little organisation in the morning makes it easier to make time for movement, even on a busy day.
The key is a place for shoes and worn clothes separate from work essentials. Picture the clothing you will bring home as well as what you pack in the morning when comparing bag shapes.
Separate work essentials, shoes and used clothes into three groups
Group your laptop and documents, shoe bag and clothing bag separately and lay them out without stacking. Measure shoes inside their bag, and check the thickness of work essentials with their protective cases.
A dedicated pocket may not fully block dirt or moisture. Place used clothes in a separate bag so they do not touch leather or documents. Make it part of your routine to empty everything when you get home.

Choose a dedicated compartment or separate pouches
Garment Bag A has one dedicated side shoe pocket. Compare it with your shoe bag's size. The body weighs 2.1kg, so the weight with work essentials added is another useful guide.
Canvas Boston A weighs 1.1kg. You could place shoes in their own bag and keep them apart from work essentials in the main compartment. Compare their combined width with the bag's internal measurements.

Assess suitability and ask before buying
