Start with the shoes you plan to carry
Send the shoe length and width, or include the actual pair with the sample request. State whether it needs to fit one pair and flag a high-top if you plan to carry one. Check the sample with that footwear inside. An empty-pocket photo will not tell you whether the opening clears the shoes.
Treat product photos as a reference, not a spec sheet
Model 2620's gallery shows an open shoe compartment. Its written specification lists a main compartment, two front pockets, and side storage, but gives no shoe compartment dimensions or lining details. Use the photo to show the arrangement you mean, then confirm the measurements and construction for your order.
Mark where the compartment should open
Mark the preferred zipper opening on a product photo or sketch. Note whether you want to reach the shoes from outside the bag or through the main compartment, and which side should face up when the bag is set down. The sample can then be checked against the position and direction you requested.
Decide what separation means for your order
If the shoes may go in damp or muddy, say what you need from the lining: wipeable, washable, or ventilated. Pick the requirements that matter to your order and confirm the fabric and construction on the sample. The open pocket photo does not confirm any of these details.
Check the shoe space with the rest of the load
Load the sample with the intended shoes and usual contents. Check that the shoes fit without forcing the zipper and that the main compartment still has the room you need. Once approved, record the dimensions, opening direction, lining request, and any changes alongside the sample photos.
