This was a bag not shoes so could only answer one question.  I am very happy with this bag, but wish it was a little larger for traveling which is what I purchase it for, actually it was to replace one I purchase in Spain years ago and I have been trying to find something similar for ages.  This comes quite close and is very light, my only complaint would be that the strap, although quite wide is rough on the edges and could rub your neck if not careful where you place it, my old one had a lovely wide soft strap.
