Side by Side Comparison of: Cosmos vs Travelon

I use these to store and stack all of my shoes (from work boots to expensive leather dress shoes. For being so thin, they protect the shoes surprisingly well!

Not only is this product a great price, it is also very functional and versatile. As I am in the process on moving to another city, these drawstring bags have come in very handy in helping me keep my purses and shoes clean, dust free, and organized! The material of these bags are not fantastic, but they are durable enough to get the job done. Will be re-purchasing again!

I bought this set of 10 bags specifically to use as dust bags for some small and medium sized cross-body and satchel type purses. They work quite well. The material is like a strong paper with the drawstring working on one side. Although this wouldn't work for larger purses, this is an inexpensive option for smaller ones if you aren't particular about the material not being a fabric. I don't think the bag would be washable but I'd rather dust off the bag from time to time instead of my purse.

I suggest you measure the purses you want to use these bags for, just to make sure that they will fit and that you won't be disappointed.

Very large shoe bags. Fabric is not fine but perfect for trips and could use for many other things. Ordered about 4 sets of shoe bags to try and decide which ones would be best. Extremely roomy. These were the most inexpensive and great because the cord around top can be tightened with a special fixture.

Not like those little shoe bags that used to fit one shoe. Each one will handle a pair of shoes easily. May even have room to fit a pair of low top boots as well. Since I purchased these for uniform dress shoes I use one bag for each shoe; yes overkill but helps keep the polish.
Each drawstring also has a nylon stop to it to keep it tightly closed and that is a nice feature to have.
These bags have many uses other than just for shoes.
I'll figure out some more of them as I use them over the upcoming years.

Price is great too.

I love how its made with a divider inside so the shoes/heels won't get scratched up together. Good quality make and I use it on every travel I go on.

I finally got serious about taking care of my shoes (now that I have shoes worth taking care of) and picked up a set of these for traveling and for storing in between uses.The fabric is soft and smooth, and the bag closes easily and securely with the drawstring.The bag easily fits a pair of dress shoes, and even a pair of chukkas (size 9.5) fit nicely.

Very nice product, that keeps my shoes nice and other clothes clean when packed in my suitcase. Very pleased with this and recommend to.others looking for a product like this. I have used others in the past but they were not as nice as this product.

One of the things that helps this product "work" is that it's easy to put the shoes in. In other words, the pockets are large enough that you don't have to spend too much time getting the job done.

I travel for business. These are the best soft shoe holders that I've ever seen. In my opinion, they are VERY well made. I'm VERY happy with this purchase!.

This bag is great for keeping your nice dress shoes looking nice. It is a soft fabric that will not scratch the shoes or scuff them like some of the other nylon bags will. Yes the fabric a little weak in the strength department but since when are you going to be throwing your dress shoes around a whole lot anyways? With normal care the bag will hold up just fine so I am not worried. The other really great feature is the divider. A piece of fabric divides the two sides, keeping the shoes from touching each other and scuffing. It has a draw string on it which helps finish out the bag nicely by keeping them inside snug.

Received my shoe bags promptly. Never ordered them or used them before....there were so many to choose from on Amazon...but I decided to go for thrifty & one that had good reviews, & so I purchased these. They are very big...& have a drawstring. They will definitely do the job that I will be using them for. Thank You Seller!

These came in very handy. Used them on my dirty hiking boots while traveling abroad. Would definitely use these again while traveling. The drawstring would easily come untied, but didn't really turn me off I just was more careful when pulling the bags closed.

Love the idea not to have to use grocery bags to wrap my shoes again. These are not the best quality but for the money I paid, they're a bargain. These are big. I wear size 7.5 shoes and I can put 2 pairs in one bag if I want to. I also use one for dirty laundry when I travel. Will buy again if I need more.

Got sick of putting my shoes in plastic bags. Bought these to store my shoes when I travel so that I can keep my clothes clean. These bags are pretty big, though keep in mind that I wear a women's size 5 (equivalent of kid's 3). I can put a 3 or 4 pairs of flats in one of these bags. It's nice that it has the drawstring to close it tight.

I don't need all ten for my travel so I'll probably use the rest as my travel laundry bags or dust bags for my purses.

They smell a big funny, probably the material it is made of. It'll probably go away after I air them out.

I'm using these as dust bags for my collection of handbags. I couldn't find dust bags anywhere so I figured I'd try these and they worked out perfectly.

Nice shoe bag.As others have stated, it isn't robust or thick by any means.Also, sizing is key as I wear a 11 and they BARELY fit. I mean so close that some of my other size 11 shoes don't!That being said, it gets the job done and its a nice material.Hopefully the workmanship will last!

A little on the small side for my size 13 shoes. They fit but are tight. Like the material and quality seems decent for the price. Just wish they were a little bigger for my shoes.

I use this every work day for my shoes. It's great. The only thing that would be nice is if there was some padding btwn the two shoes. I think sometimes my softer leather shoes get knicked from the hard heels of the other shoe on the other side.

These are quite nice. The martial is very soft. They're not very big but I was able to squeeze in two dress shoes. No problem for lower profile or more flexible shoes. No go for boots, even low ones. Two are in the package, so I can put one shoe in each if necessary.

Bags are nicely made.Sold as a set (two bags).One small problem:- each bag has an internal divider so that each bag will hold two shoes. Both shoes of my size 9.5 standard men's issue dress shoe will not fit into the bag. I use one shoe per bag and with the divider it is still a tight fit. I imagine you need to take scissors and cut the divider if you have anything > 10.5. I undertand the function of the dividers, they just need to be larger.Otherwise, as advertised.

They do their job keeping my shoes clean and are easy to carry. I like having two bags so I don't have to switch shoes in the bags. My only downside is that these bags barely fit size 13 shoes. It is still slightly open when I zip it up, but I guess that's what happens when you have big feet. Most shoe bags listed sizes and only went up to size 12 and these didn't say anything so I figured I would try them out. The shoes fit fine, but a small spot of my heels are exposed (I decided that was better than my toes exposed) so I guess these go up to size 12 as well. Most people will love these bags, but if you have big feet, you will be happier if you pass these up and look for larger ones.

The material was rather fragile and was easily torn on the draw string area. You have to be very EXTRA careful when you draw the strings.

I used these bags to fill with sand to anchor down a tarp on the beach, worked great. I'm a size 11 and I don't think most of my pairs of shoes would fit in these though.

Very very large. Really too big even for my son's size 12 shoes.More like a small laundry bag

these shoe bags, although they are good for shoes...they are kind of big...make sure you see the size before you buy them..otherwise..good product

These are much larger than I anticipated. They would easily hold 2 shoes per bag, but I don't want my shoes rubbing together inside the bag. I will keep searching for smaller shoe bags.

They're okay. Hard to get the shoes inside the internal sleeves sometimes. I wear a US men's size 9. Also the fabric itself feels quite delicate and I honestly don't think this will live more than 20-30 trips without some breakage occurring. I've used them a few times for traveling and for keeping shoes I change into regularly but the convenience factor is really low with them. The draw string is also a bit long. I don't feel like they protect my shoes a ton either but really I was using these to protect everything else and not scuff the shoes up a bit and not my items too and then keep any dirt from getting on my stuff and whatever. Also, price is a bit high for just a couple of thin bags of fabric with string.They're okay. Would I buy again? Eh. Not really. I'd buy the cheapest thing or realize I can't find my miracle item that somehow protects my shoes with soft internal fabric yet lets them fit in bags in odd ways still.

It's okay. Just the right size for my 10.5 men's dress shoes. Could not fit in my running shoes.

This bag is OK but the drawstring is assembled in a way that doesn't make any sense and is very weak. I purchased four of these bags and one of the drawstrings broke immediately. Everything else is good and that's the only reason I'm giving it 3 stars instead of 5.

Pros:-Nice fleece material seems to protect my shoes well-Roomy -- I wear a women's size 7: gym shoes fit well (one on each side) and, for flats and sandals, I am even able to fit two shoes on each side.-Has done well after being machine washedCons:- I have four of these and on two of them the black plastic clasp (that you use to tighten the string closure mechanism) broke or came off with gentle use. (I consider this a significant downside b/c now I can't close the bag.)

The only thing that concerns me is its size .. it is kinda small.It is not as what you see here in the item picture. For some it might be even better, but to be honest is nothing near the picture color (which I do not mind so much).

I bought these shoe bags a few years ago and was really pleased with the quality, thick, sturdy bags. So I bought some more now. But I was a little disappointed that they are now made of much thinner, flimsier material. They are adequate, but no longer luxurious.

The bags are too large. They are better fit for men's shoes size 11 or larger.

The bags were not the expected size. They were to big, I wanted smaller ones.

Pull cords not secured in the middle. Quickly pull through to where they're unreachable.

Smaller than the dimensions listed, no durability, knots werent even tied in strings to keep spring button clamps from sliding right off

Too stiff for traveling and little too big for women shoes. Might be a good size for men, maybe even too big for them too.

Not 100% pleased. They are as advertised, but the material is somewhat cheap feeling and it would only fit a pair of women's flat dress shoes size 8 max. Thank goodness I have a few of those or this would be a totally wasted purchase. Still, I wouldn't purchase them again due to the quality issue.

It was too small for my size 8 shoes.

Marginal at best. They will work but they are "T shirt" thin. Would not buy again nor would I recommend that you do.

I ordered these shoe bags and received them relatively quickly, however, when I opened the package, I was shocked at how flimsy they are. They are not lined, and when I hold them up to the light, I can see my hand through the fabric. I could have made something better myself. Not sending them back because I need something and these will do (for now)...the picture is not realistic. I thought I was getting a similar item to a shoe bag I bought several years ago from Avon. It was great...thicker velour type fabric with a darker grey lining...very sturdy and very well made. A big thumbs down on this one...

I purchased a few of these, and one had an issue on the first use. The pull string broke. For the price, I would have expected much better quality. The others seem to be working okay so far.

They don't have drawstrings on the sides. 1 star wrong product description

Ok for the price. Get what you pay for. Good for sandals but not bulky shoes like running shoes. String came out on two bags before i used them.
Very thin. Wont buy again.

Don't waste your money. These things are extremely low quality. They didn't even attach the clasp to the drawstring!

cheaply made

very low quality. Drawstrings either broke or would not adjust. Better off with a plastic Tshirt grocery bag.

Was not what I expected.

draw strings detached on first use

Drawstring ripped the first time I used it; not recommended, low quality construction.

Poor fabric choice, Travelon! Heels snag on this fabric and it is much too lightweight to provide protection from scuffs. My daughter's new pumps were both scratched on the outer sides of heels (not the inside from wear abrasion) presumably from friction with other suitcase contents during baggage handling.

I did not care for the bags after I received them. They were constructed with very a synthetic type of material, so unless you like this, I would not recommend them.

Too short even for women's shoes.
