LeSportsac also makes a nylon backpack, as does Tumi. I might also point you to the Marc Jacob nylon knapsack - it’s pictured at the very top of this post in pink iris, but it’s also available in black. I vastly prefer my leather hobos for style, but the Everyday bag can’t be beat for being lightweight and well organized. I might point you to a LeSportsac Everyday bag (pictured), which has been my gym bag for years, and is now my favorite diaper bag. If we’re talking smart choices, though, you probably do want a crossbody or a backpack, to better distribute the weight you might also want to look for a lighter fabric bag (such as a nylon) instead of the leathers and canvases that I always prefer.

That said, on the rare occasion where I wanted to carry a computer or a change of clothes, I suppose I could have fit a super-lightweight, small laptop into my bag, and I also could have possibly fit a pair of jeans (for a night out) - but not both, and certainly not with a change of shoes. A laptop? A change of clothes? This all seems like a lot for a regular commute, and probably the smart advice to her is to find another means of transportation if she has to carry so much. So: I gotta say that Reader A may be asking for too much. (I suppose there’s another post idea there, but my secret belief is that feet problems are like dreams: no one else wants to hear about them.) While there are so many benefits to walking to work (fresh air! clear head! some exercise!), I do feel like I’ve done some serious damage to my body from walking so much.įor example, whenever I get massages, the masseuse always comments on the huge knot on my right upper back (where I usually carry my bag), and I honestly blame the first few years of walking to work (back in the days when I wore Steve Madden 3″ stacked heels regularly - for the 2 mile commute!) for the feet problems I have now. I’ve always loved walking to work, and I’ve regularly schlepped about that distance.

– Comfortable to carry long distances, such as a cross-body style with comfortable strap. Color-neutral enough to be worn with anything for everyday use

– Big enough to carry folders, papers, occasional laptop and occasional change of clothes I’m a lawyer and I walk almost two miles to work everyday. I thought perhaps someone out there might have found the holy grail of bags to address the following issues, and I’m sure others are looking for the same. I’ve had a bag dilemma for years and though this venue might provide a solution. Keeping you organized, the Candy bar is designed to fit an iPadĪnd has perfect spots to store your phone, cards and keys.What is the best bag to carry if you walk to work? Reader A wonders… Designed to fit women, the Candyīar is comfortable but sleek, so it transitions well from sportyĮndeavors to more sophisticated events.
