I do a lot of club and ballroom dancing and this bag works great for holding dance shoes, towel, drinks, cell phone, camera, paperwork, etc. It is not too big or too small. I had been using the typical small zippered bag that you would buy at a ballroom dance supply store which is about the same capacity of a shoe box...too small! I am constantly going to practice and was using multiple bags. I found I could consolidate everything that I need into this one bag. One thing I really like and that the description fails to mention is the "hidden" zippered side pocket in the main compartment. It uses a tiny zipper and I use it for putting my wallet in. The shoulder strap quick release hardware and attachments are all made of sturdy metal which I really appreciate. I use this bag 4 times a week so it must be sturdy and it is. The only thing that I was slightly disappointed with is that the description said it has "four feet at the base for additional protection" but it does not. It is just flat. However this has no consequence for me so I won't deduct any stars because of it. It may be an important feature to others so I thought I would mention it and maybe Wayfair can fix the description as it is misleading. My bag has the company name "travelwell" as opposed to "Goodhope" so maybe there was a manufacturer change and that's why they forgot the four feet on the bottom I don't know. One other minor detail is that I don't understand what "fully lined green interior" means. It certainly is not the color green on the inside, it is black.
In the end, I would highly recommend this bag to a friend and in fact already have. I've had difficulty finding this size/style of bag for my uses so I was happy to discover it at Wayfair and wouldn't hesitate recommending to purchase it from them. The price is very reasonable which is like icing on the cake!"..." Read more
