Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was looking around for a good everyday gym/sport bag to carry around a change of clothes and extra shoes and the usual other things (deodorant, etc.) I initially bought the adidas speed team bag, which I really liked, I bought the medium size and it was huge. I got it from a department store but came home to read the reviews online and a lot of people had issue with the inner top lining crumbling off into the bag over time. While reading that review and checking the bag, the bag did sort of feel like it had some sort of grippy rubber coating on that inner upper flap. So I returned it. If I'm going to drop $30 - $40 on a bag, I want it to last a while. After reading reviews on countless other branded bags, everything had some kind of complaint, so I went to the adidas website to see which was their newest duffel bag, because surely they wouldn't put that coating on their newest bag, just so happened this bag was listed there as a new item so I figured I would order it and give it a shot. I ordered it small this time because the other model was so huge in a medium. First thing I checked was the inner upper flap, it seems to be uncoated nylon on the inside, which is good! The bag was a perfect size for what I had in mind, shoes and some clothes. The overall quality feels pretty good, seems to have a better structure than the previous team speed model I tried. The bottom lining of the bag really does feel pretty durable, very thick, but only time will tell. The shoe compartment is nice and the vented part of it seems like they really reinforced it this time. It has a double lining of standard mesh on the outside and a sort of elastic mesh on the inside, making it feel like it wont tear easy. The big side pocket is pretty standard for any side pocket on bags. The pictures I took are showing size 13 shoes next to the bag, inside the bag and how much space it takes up inside the bag, which is just enough room for some clothes and other small equipment. If you need more room, I'd suggest going wit ha medium or large. I apologize for the flash on the shoes, the lighting is bad in my apartment and it was too blurry without it.
