Side by Side Comparison of: Cosmos vs Lewis N. Clark

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 used these while traveling to Thailand! These are great to keep your shoes clean and protect your clothes in the suitcase from dirty shoes!

I purchased this set as well as the other Lewis N. Clark black/purple shoe covers. Both are good. I like the purple color in the other box; however, the fabric this pair is made of is a much better quality that the other pair of shoe covers in the other box. Each box of 2 pair had the same price. Both packages had the same product number, and it appears it is just a different year of manufacture. Since I already had the other, I can only assume this is the newer, improved version. I highly recommend these for ladies dress shoes to prevent scratches.

These work great and are plenty long for those with large feet. My only issue is twofold. First, the fabric is smooth not ridged as in the photo, second, the purple is not the purple that is pictured. It is a much darker almost black purple. I was hoping to be able to tell them apart more easily. I object to not having the correct visuals because I get my expectations set accordingly. I already have one set from " forever ago" that match the posted photo. I was expecting these to match.

As a side note, I had purchased a fancy shoe holder for twice the price and practically speaking, I don't see the point. If I could receive as many as I wanted of either kind, I would pick these Lewis and Clark ones. The simplicity and lack of bulk are far more important to me than having fancy shoe covers. Unless you need waterproof shoe holders, these work great!

These travel shoes covers are fantastic! They fit even my steel toed shoes that I need to take with me on business travel. You can stretch their use by doubling up on thin shoes. They take up no more room than the size of the shoe and can also double to clean your shoes if needed. I also like that I can separate the shoes while packing with this item.

But, I use these for more than just shoes. Watches and other delicate items can also be protected with them. You simply canot go wrong with these

made easier to pack better than plastic bags no sweating,like colors you know which pair you are pulling out, just used them on 10 day busy tour, saved so much time, could change shoes to let them dry and rest, the shoe covers breed thus allowing shoes to dry/air out, used plastic bags for 8 years these cover are not the same & well worth the money

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.

I love these shoe bags because each bag is very light and accommodates one shoe. This is a benefit to people that have small carryon baggage and need to squeeze items into tight spaces. Packing 2 shoes together takes up a huge amount of space but one shoe per bag allows more options for packing.

I wish the drawstring closure had a plastic cinch to keep the drawstring closed. Without any cinch, the bags open up easily. I bought a small pack of cinches from Amazon and will be attaching them to the drawstrings. All in all a good bag.

Some reviewers have criticized this product for its thin, "flimsy" fabric. Yes, the fabric is thin, but it's also light-weight and -- while I don't know about you -- I don't want to pay an overweight baggage fee (that's $100 on Delta!) because of heavy shoe covers. The workmanship is not the best, but for the price and for the purpose, they're fine. You use shoe covers when traveling keep dirt from your shoes off of your cloths and to keep other items in your suitcase from scratching your shoes. These covers are perfectly adequate to do that.

I wear American Men's size 12. These covers are just big enough for my shoes. If you have bigger feet than mine, then you will need to find bigger covers than these.

Simple, effective, and not expensive.
I like that these are single-shoe bags instead of 2-up bags, as it allows more flexible packing options.
Dress shoes fit just fine.

The only thing they might add is some kind of drawstring lock or button. You just have to tie a knot.
The material is very thin. If the shoes are actually dirty or wet, it won't contain the mess, which would go through the mesh-like material. It's mostly to keep your shiny loafers from getting scratched up, I guess.

With one order, you get four bags in all, two of each color. The listing is a bit confusing that way.

I travel a lot and after having my clothes get dirty from the bottom of my shoes a couple times I started putting them in a bag when I packed. Having the individual pouches though makes much better use of the space and keeps my clothes clean. I always said I was just going to make my own, but I never did and when I saw these at a good price I just purchased them. They are great. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because they force you to buy two pairs of them, which I didn't need two, and because the material is a little thin but I have been using them for almost a year and they have held up just fine. One note, I am a guy and they work fine for my athletic and dress shoes but I don't know that they would fit some of the larger, odd shaped, women's shoes that I see my friends wear.

My husband can fit one of his size 13 shoes in each of these. Boots would not fit. One suggestion would be to add a toggle to each one to keep it cinched closed. I had some extra ones lying around so we added those and they work great. Keeps his shoes from getting everything else in his carry on bag dirty.

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.

The product is ok overall, the material that it is made of is very smooth to the touch. The elastic band however is unable to remain closed on its own unless the string is tied which I don't really want to do.

Drawstring design isn't great, sizing is *just* a touch small (mens size 12).

If it were ~10% larger and featured a stopper on the drawcord - we'd be in business.

works well, a little tight fit foe some of my shoes (im size 12), but i can still fit any shoe in there because the fabric is a bit stretchy. its hard to tell if they are inside out as it kinda always looks inside out (but that isnt really an issue)

Very thing fabric. Does the trick of not letting shoes rub against each other, but the do fall off during flight. Would be nicer if the closure system had better string.

These were made of a much thinner fabric than others i have. I was disappointed, as they were to be a gift and had a flimsy feel and appearance. That said, they will do the job of protecting clothing in a suitcase and keeping the shoe clean and dust free when stored.

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.

The bag itself it fine, it's just you can't close the top of the bag. There is no clip or way to close the bag. I found that the shoe ends up wiggling it's way out of the bag during travel. I don't want to tie a knot in the string for fear I wouldn't be able to get it open. I recommend finding a product similar, but with some sort of closure to keep the shoe in the bag.

These covers are very thin and slippery, and the drawstring does not stay closed unless you tie it manually. So you have to tie your shoes into the bag or the bag slips right off. Functional, but really more annoying than useful.

Needs to be longer to accommodate my size 11.5 shoes.

These shoe pouches are cheap, thin and reek of chemicals. Seriously. I took them out of the box and there was this strong odor that was like a mix between chemicals and body odor. I bought a pair of higher end Johnston & Murphy shoes a few years ago and they came with a very nice cotton/fleece type bags for the shoes.

This time when I bought a cheaper shoe I didn't get a bag so I thought these would be a good replacement.

I'll still probably try these after I spray them with Febreeze, but I can't imagine they will hold up long.

These feel flimsy and look inside-out no matter which way you turn them. Also, two ladies' shoes may not fit in one bag as advertised--only light sandals or dress shoes.

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.

These shoe bags smelled so bad that I had to throw them away. I haven't a clue what the material or dye is, but they reeked pretty badly. I threw them out. A waste of money.

These are cheap shoe covers and no better than cheese cloth. They won't really protect your shoes other than superficial rubbing against something else in your bag or closet.

The shoes fall out of these bags. The fabric is very slippery and the strings do not keep the bags closed. I should have returned the bags, but I gave them to Goodwill instead.

Years ago, I bought some of these from Samsonite...same shape and colors as this, but a heavier weave. They felt like they protected the rest of your suitcase from the shoe. I can actually put hiking boots in the old ones. They obviously aren't cut for use on boots, but the old ones could stretch to cover the boots, and these new ones don't. The weave is so thin that there isn't enough stretch for a boot when I want to use them for that. In fact, these are so thin that they just feel like they're a waste of time putting them on and off a shoe. You can see through them to the shoe. I don't use them, and sorry I bought two pairs.
