Psst: these are some interesting products to help you cool down or stay cool on your commute… see more clever products like this in our Amazon shop! My personal $.02 is that fashionably speaking, the backpack is kind of at the bottom of the pile - but sometimes you have to be kind to your body and prioritize comfort above fashion. 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. What is the best bag to carry if you walk to work? Reader A wonders…
