If you train before or after work the problem is simple: your gym shoes must not touch the laptop, the papers and the spare shirt. The answer is a separate shoe compartment. Here we compare three Piquadro laptop backpacks that have one, all available online: capacity, weight, size and features, so you can pick the right one for your day.

What to compare in an office-to-gym backpack
Four things are enough to choose:
- Separate shoe compartment: it keeps your shoes away from the laptop and from your clean change of clothes.
- Capacity in litres: it tells you what is left for a change of clothes after shoes and laptop. All three are expandable as well.
- Net weight of the empty backpack: leather weighs more than fabric, and an extra kilo is felt on the shoulder every day.
- Laptop sleeve: all three have a sleeve for laptops up to 15.6". Before choosing, compare your laptop's dimensions or try it in store.
The three models compared
| Model | Capacity | Net weight (empty) | External size (H × W × D) | Laptop sleeve | Material | Expandable | Power bank pocket |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leather 15.6" Laptop Backpack with Shoe Compartment (Blue Square) | 25.5 L | 1.872 kg | 42 × 34 × 16 cm | 15.6" | leather | yes | yes |
| Expandable Roll-Top Laptop Backpack 15.6" (Sync) | 36 L | 1.309 kg | 44 × 36 × 17 cm | 15.6" | leather and fabric | yes | yes |

Leather 15.6" Laptop Backpack with Shoe Compartment (Blue Square): the leather choice
The Leather 15.6" Laptop Backpack with Shoe Compartment (Blue Square) is leather with a polyester lining and has 25.5 L of capacity, two compartments and an external sleeve for laptops up to 15.6". It weighs 1.872 kg empty, more than the leather-and-fabric roll-top: that is a consequence of the leather. Besides the shoe compartment it has the expansion system, the power bank pocket, the included rain cover, RFID shielding and a rear zipped pocket that slides over a trolley handle. The Monogram Tag for your initials is included. The other models of the line are in the Blue Square collection.
Expandable Roll-Top Laptop Backpack 15.6" (Sync): the roomiest and the lightest
The Expandable Roll-Top Laptop Backpack 15.6" (Sync) is leather and fabric (recycled polyester) and offers 36 L, the most in this comparison, with a net weight of 1.309 kg. The roll-top closure lets you vary the volume; it also has the expansion, two compartments, an external sleeve for laptops up to 15.6", a power bank pocket, RFID shielding and a trolley strap. It was designed for bike commuters (it has a helmet net), but the same features serve anyone coming from the gym.
Two-Compartment Leather Laptop Backpack 15.6" (Victor): leather and wireless charging
The Two-Compartment Leather Laptop Backpack 15.6" (Victor) is leather and has 33 L with expansion, two compartments and an internal sleeve for laptops up to 15.6". It weighs 2.098 kg empty, the heaviest of the group. It has the pocket with induction charging for the phone, the power bank pocket, garment straps, RFID shielding, the helmet net and the trolley strap. Here too the Monogram Tag is included.
When to choose another model
- If you prefer a bag to a backpack: the Leather Duffel Bag with Shoe Compartment (Urban) has 37 L, a separate shoe compartment and a trolley strap, but no laptop sleeve.
- If you want the lowest weight: the three models weigh 1.3 to 2.1 kg empty. If the shoe compartment is not essential, fabric backpacks start lower: compare the net weight on each page.
- If your laptop is 17 inches: none of the three has a sleeve beyond 15.6 inches. See the backpacks for laptops up to 17".
Frequently asked questions

Will my laptop fit?

Conclusion
For leather and an included Monogram Tag, the Blue Square CA6592B2BM; for the most volume at the lowest weight, the roll-top CA7190W145; for leather, more litres and the wireless charging pocket, the Victor CA7181W143. With all three, your shoes travel apart from the laptop and the change of clothes.
