I like the bag, but I wasn't thinking when I ordered and would certainly prefer the option of a shoulder strap or at least locations to attach an aftermarket one. The shoe compartment in the bottom is great, but the size of other external storage pockets are a bit small. Can't fit much into them and most items will be put in central compartment, despite the overall size of the duffle. Not good for simple overnights, way too big, but good for weekends and trips.
