This is a “normal” sized

This is a “normal” sized backpack like one you would carry for school. There is a separate shoe compartment, but it will take up space on the inside of the bag when in use. There’s a water bottle pocket a nice deep pocket on the front that zip. There’s also a lot of internal organization on the inside and both the main compartment and the laptop compartment. I love the gunmetal color.

This is a spacious backpack

This is a spacious backpack with many of the features I want in a travel bag. Love the trolley sleeve and all the organizational pockets. I especially love how comfortable it is to carry due to the cushioning. I’ve even leaned on it comfortably in a less than comfortable restaurant chair. Really versatile!

I bought this backpack for

I bought this backpack for my daughter to use for dance. She managed to fit several pairs of different types of dance shoes (specifically 4 pairs of dance shoes: 2 pairs of soft ballet shoes, one pair of jazz shoes and a pair of character heels) in the shoe compartment. While this decreased the amount of space in the main compartment, it is still enough to store a pouch for hair accessories, extra clothing layers, etc. This will double as a bag for travel, so she is excited about the luggage sleeve and the hidden pocket within. The only complaint is that the water bottle pocket is kind of small and does not stretch. It is slightly challenging to fit a standard size water bottle in the pocket when the main compartment or the shoe compartment is full.
