Side by Side Comparison of: Tuff Guy vs FashionBoutique

I bought these Travel Shoe Bags for a reason--I wanted a reliable and readily recognizable Travel Bag for my Dress Shoes--this product does NOT disappoint!

These were great! Perfect for our vacation last week. Light fabric and sturdy zippers. Some of the previous reviews said they bleed so I washed ahead of time. Would definitely buy again

Narrow enough to fit in briefcase, but long enough to fit long ties easily. Pockets useful for collar stays, etc.

These bags are better quality than I really expected for the price. The material is heavier / thicker than other shoe bags I've used. The inside divider is handy and something else I was surprised to find. I'm back to buy another set of these and a set of the smaller size ones too. They are essential for travel packing, but I've decided to use some to store my off-season and rarely used shoes and boots as well. A little organization goes a long way in making life simpler! Great bags for the price!

Perfect bags for bulky running shoes and/or dress shoes keeping them away from other items in your luggage. I'm a size 11.5-12 and had no issues with all types of shoes. I found that since they are bags, it was much easier to arrange my shoes to fit in places within my luggage vs. a fixed dimension of a cube.I also found that they work well as dirty laundry bags, albeit small ones.Worth the money and would recommend buying.

Very nice set of shoe bags. They fit a pair of men's size 12 dress shoes or running shoes. Keep the inside of my suitcase nice and clean, no shoe polish or shoe residue on my clothes or the inside of the bag.

I bought these for my daughter to take on a trip to Spain this month. She didn't seem thrilled with it. But she was taking two pairs of shoes and wearing a pair, so I thought it might help keep things clean and neat in her suitcase. She ended up using them and had not one complaint. If you travel, you need something to keep shoes from ending up on your clean clothes. I have used shower caps in the past, they were from the dollar store and cheap. And the shoes were knocked around and ended up on my clothes. So this is why I pushed her using these.

These arrived and seem well made and look great - haven't traveled with them yet but after reading about how filthy shoes are and I was so completely grossed out I will never travel without them. Evidently the bottom of your shoes is filthier than a toilet seat and studies have shown some of the nastiest bacteria thriving on the bottoms of our shoes. I have been sort of packing them on the bottom but not REALLY protecting my other stuff from them. NOT ANY MORE!!!

Before buying these shoe bags, I was packing my footwear in used grocery bags like some backwoods vagabond. That's one step away from living like a transient and eating off the floor. I had to put a stop to it, so I classed up my travel game with these shoe bags. They repel dirt, dust, and moisture. The drawstring is a nice addition, although I rarely use it. And even though they're durable, they're also light and can easily be folded when not in use.

Let's face it, do you want to put shoes that you wore on public streets (where dogs do there thing & humans spit) in with your nice clean clothes that you plan to put next to your skin? I'm sure that you will say "no". Well that is what you do if you don't put your shoes in something that will protect your clothes from that kind of contamination each time you pack a suitcase. If you don't need all 4 for shoes, what about using the extras for wet items. They are waterproof. The size is really great & will hold my size 7 shoes as well as my husbands size 11. The fabric is very sturdy & seems to hold up well even when you seem to push & shove you shoes In them.

This four pack is perfect for packing, not JUST for shoes either! My wife is in the Navy, so she travels with black shoes, white shoes, running shoes, and her hat (female combo) fits in one perfectly too! Am thinking of ordering another set for miscellaneous stuff (one for blow dryer to keep cord from tangling with other things, one for underwear and one for socks to easily sort stuff, etc.Surprisingly sturdy fabric, easy drawstring and washable!If you are really OCD, you could even write on the lighter colors with a thick Sharpie to describe contents, but, of course, I am NOT OCD because I didn't write on them. ;)

Over the years I have used grocery bags to separate my shoes from the rest of my clothing when I pack my suitcase. I always disliked that solution but it was both cost effective and easy. These shoe bags protect my clothes and help keep my shoes together. They're a great aid and not expensive.

They're fine...

These will do the trick. They're thinner than I expected but will probably hold up a few times, just not sure how long they'll last. They fit men's size 11 Florsheim dress shoes, once you get them at an angle through the zipper opening.

They work! The 16"x12" bags are big enough to hold a standard pair of shoes. Hiking boots wouldn't fit in one of these bags, but the bigger size looks like it would handle them. I can't tell yet, because I've only had them for a couple weeks, but I don't expect them to last very long. Time will tell.

The bags work well but they are much bigger than I was expecting. This is not necessarily a bad thing but they are very big for just a pair of shoes. I am using them for men's size 11 shoes and the shoes can almost fit sideways at the bottom of the bag.Overall I am very happy with the purchase and I have started using the bags as laundry bags to bring my clothes to the dry cleaners as well. I can fit about a week's worth of dry cleaner clothes in each of the bags. I just think that if they are being marketed as shoe bags the size could probably be a little bit smaller.

Very cool idea. I haven't gotten my bowties to lay anywhere near as flat pictured though.To see why, lay your folded bow-tie flat on the table. Notice the collar sticks up. It does the same in the case. Not sure what the solution is really. Perhaps they're just better packed rolled.

These will suffice to protect shoes as your store them or you other packed items when traveling. Whenever traveling either use the plastic shoe trees (reduce weight) or what I prefer to do is take rolled up socks and stuff inside of shoes (less weight and utilizes dead space in shoes). Since my son is not too particular he'll use these.

Item is as described. Great colors. Have to put size 8.5 running shoes in backwards for the bag to close. And the string is difficult to keep closed unless you put a know in it. A string lock clip would be a quick fix. Otherwise. They work great! They could also be used as a toiletries bag for a quick need

I wear size 10 women shoe; and I can easily fit my shoes (even short boots) in these bags. I can fit up to three pairs of flip flops in one bag. I have washed the bags once and have had no issue with them coming apart or fraying. Bag is nylon and has a nice cord to cinch the bag closed.

Bought a set of these for a long trip over seas. I for one hate traveling with multiple pairs of shoes. The bottoms no matter how clean and neat you are yourself, are a hotbed of nastiness. I never feel good about putting them into my luggage with everything else. These bags work great, nicely made and durable. I wish they weren't as snug, but it just makes you push the shoes a little closer, and gives a little more room in the bag I suppose. I would buy these again for sure.

Nice for separating shoes with clothes when traveling; I would have given them 5 stars if the bags were just a tad longer - enough so that the drawstring end would close completely with high-top size shoes inside.

It would be 5 stars if I didn't have to buy separately the Spring-loaded rope cord locks. The cords in these bags are smooth like silk, so they are not high-friction and prone to opening if you turn the bag upsidedown and shake it.I recommend buying the bags and cord-locks at the same time. The cord-locks are only a few bucks so now I have shoebags that will stay closed.

I misplaced my shoe bags during the recent move, and with an upcoming trip overseas, shoe bags for my running shoes, slippers and other shoes that do not come with their own bags were a must. These were the best I found after a long search on line. Delivery was via USPS, which is a little slower here in Florida (our area has everything processed thru Orlando; thank you, budget cuts!). A day late is the norm for USPS shipping, and that was the case here. These bags are unisex, so I can lend them to the other half without getting a "these are girly" reaction. They are sturdy, and the waterproofing is an improvement over my old shoe bags - if I was putting sneakers in after a jog/run/walk thru a wet park, I had to use a plastic bag too, over the old shoe bags. No more.

In an attempt to clean up my closet and tidy my shoe pile I opted for these bags. Frankly, it has only caused more confusion. The bags do not have a clean or net area to see in and the overall material is thin. For travel I have used these and that was a good use but I am not impressed with the tab size insert to write the shoe styles onto for ID. It is too corporate looking.

these are OK, I don't think they're super strong but it's way better than placing my shoes into a plastic shopping bag then into my travel bag. They fit most my shoes and some boots but not anything too bulky.

I wanted thin bags to keep my shoes, as I travel quite frequently for work. These fit the bill - they don't add bulk and are not heavy.However, the drawstrings are a little cheap and the fabric is already fraying a bit. Would prefer if these were a little more durable!

You will notice this is much cheaper than some of the competition. That is for a reason. One of the little snap buttons for holding the ties down popped off the first day I owned it, but it wasn't worth sending back. I use it and it works otherwise, but you can tell it is very cheap.

Very thin bag, but for the price I can't really complain. Don't expect it to protect your shoes, but mainly good to keep dust off of them or keep them from touching your clothes if packed in a bag. Does not have any lining inside the bag (material outside is the same as inside). I wear 10.5 men's and it fits one pair of shoes comfortably.

These bags are for cowboy boots. i got them for hiking boots because I couldn't find an alternative size in between these and the shoe bags. I'm not crazy about them, but they'll do to keep things clean while traveling.

I've had these for about a year now and used them very frequently. I always got compliments on my shoe bags and they are large enough to fit multiple pairs of flats, or even a pair of high heels and one pair of additional flats. Unfortunately the strings are not the best quality and they all came undone over time and slipped out, which is very disappointing and hard to get back in. I still use the bags and they have held up, but I wish the drawstrings weren't as slippery.

Don't particularly like the fabric, as it has a cheapish look and feel, but they do their job perfectly well and stay clean.Had originally bought them as a present but didn't think they were nice enough to gift so kept them for personal use and have been happy with how they've held up so far.

These are just okay. They are clearly not of the highest quality (the draw string barely pulls the material closed and certainly won't hold it closed well) but the price was very cheap (about $2.50 a bag) so the quality is fair for the price. If all you care about is quantity and basic functionality, go ahead and buy, but you if you want something more durable and useful, use the purchase price toward more well constructed bags.Also, I didn't see this is other reviews, but these bags are extra wide to hold a pair of shoes each. Personally, I prefer the bags that hold just one shoe, like the cloth shoe covers, because it makes packing more natural. With a single shoe in a bag, it's easy to tuck shoes in any available space. But this bag is too wide and not useful for single shoes. On the upside, it is better shaped to hold booties that wouldn't fit in a single shoe bag.

Nice size for a travel laundry bag or oversized shoes. However, with this type of material, I expected the seams to be frenched as the seams will fray as soon as it is washed (Past experience with a waterproof "Stuff it" bag made of the same material. Lost over a quarter of the bag and had to re-sew what was left.). So, I will French seam these myself to prevent this from happening. I did not return these as it is still a good deal. Cheaper to buy them like this them than to buy the fabric and make them.

If you’re looking for cheap shoe bags, then this is good. I wouldn’t characterized the bags as high quality as the title denotes that is why the product only receives a three star- it’s ok but not great.

These are of a good material. They are larger than I thought which is a plus so they can fit any shape of shoe. so yet again I'm pleased with this purchase

One of the bags ripped at the seam the first time I tried to put my shoes in there. Two of the other three have worked fine, with about 2-3 uses each, and I haven't tried the last one yet.

not bad

The bags came as described, but after one use of these bags, the inside threads have already come apart. Now I have what looks like a spider's web of threads inside the bag and am concerned about the bags no longer being functional if I try to clear them out. Crap product.

We bought these for 2 things. One for shoes and two, to separate outfits for eachildren day. When you handle the bags, the dye comes off on your hands and stains them for a couple days.

The bags look high quality and feel high quality but the strings to close that bag are on the cheap side. One of the bags I bought the rope just got undone and is no longer a bag but a sack. That was after one use

I used one bag for one weekend trip and the seaming has already come completely unraveled. I bought these for a two week honeymoon but they definitely will not hold up that long if they couldn't even make it thru a weekend

I am not sure why these are rated so well. They are ok. However, the string is cheap and the bag material is slightly thin and crispy. I can't imagine these lasting for long.

Three of them ripped on the first use.

The bag is decent quality (its nylon) -- but the drawstrings are terrible. They tend to fall out when washed. Wouldn't buy again

Basically just some nylon bags with drawstring. If you were size 11 or 12 men's USA your shoes will barely fit

they look cheap, feel cheap, and are huge but not in length in width- which doesn't help while traveling

These are standard nylon bags, but too large for a pair of shoes (I wear men's size 11). They can be used for other purposes so I am keeping them, and the quality seems okay, but they are not made for shoes and I thought they would be.

Disappointed that after 2 months and 4 uses the zippers on 2 have come apart and will not retract. Not satisfied with this item would not recommend.

These bags tore with just a few uses.

the black die from the bags comes off on your shoes and clothes they ruined a pair of white shoes and a white shirt that was in my suitcase

Rather a waste of money. Next time I will use plastic bags from the supermarket.m

Total false advertisement. I received 1 bag though the description clearly states this is a 4 pack and the picture shown corroborates such. The 1 bag I did receive certainly is high quality and I am otherwise pleased with the product, just not pleased that I only received 1/4th of what I believed to be ordering and what was clearly advertised.

Here is what you are buying...4 nylon bags that are basically the material you would see those drawstring backpacks made of. They are not soft at all...They are HUGE. Shoe bags should be a fairly snug fit for the shoes, there are basically storage bags. There is no way I will use them as shoe bags.I will probably use them on trips, but as a bag for wet bathing suits, or for dirty gym clothes that you want to keep separate from other items. They are that big.....Meanwhile, Ill keep searching for a nice set of travel shoe bags....

NOT waterproof... cheap material and the bag won't stay closed si ce you can onluly pull the steing from one side...buy yourself something else.

You can't call these 'waterproof' when the top doesn't seal. It's just a little drawstring at the top, not a true seal. Truth in advertising is vital. It's like saying your phone is waterproof unless you get water in the audio jack... it's a ridiculous way to advertise. These hold shoes. Waterproof doesn't come into it.

One of the bags was ripped when it arrived in the mail. Instead of returning, I just took 10 minutes to sew. BUT after ONE use, a second bag started to rip. And I had to sew that one too. Would have NEVER bought these if I knew I'd have to repair them after EACH use.

The picture looks nice however the bags in person are not of great quality. I recommend using these as disposable bags after a couple times use or to carry sneakers/sandals on trips. For nicer shoes I recommend a better quality bag.

String closure broke 2nd time I used it

These bags are very flimsily. At least three out of the four strings came out after using the bags three or four times. This makes the bags useless because being unable to close the draw strings leaves the shoes unsecured in the bag and the shoes fall out. This was a complete waste of money.
