Carry-on luggage

What are the best carry on luggage brands that give significant room for enough clothes for a three day trip?  One of my biggest issues is that I wear size 13 shoes so just taking one extra pair for my morning jogs takes up a substantial amount of space in my carry on bags.  Ultimately, I would like to no longer have to check bags to avoid the extra time at the airport.

 

I look forward to your replies.

Personally I think most brands of carry on luggage should hold 3 days worth of clothing and an extra pair of size 13 shoes.  It's how you pack those clothes and shoes that make the difference.  I recently packed for a 8 day 7 night trip in a carry on bag with the aid of packing cubes.  The largest cube held all of my tops and bottoms while the other 2 cubes held everything else.  I would suggest also packing your small intems, socks and underwear, rolled, and in a plastic sandwich bag, in your shoes.  Hair brushes, combs, or small tolieties will also do well in your shoes.   Save precious space where ever you can.  Hope this helps.

Lately I've been packing my shoes and sneakers in a backpack - does the trick and frees up my bag. I love my Briggs & Riley. It's expensive but bc it contracts I can easily fit at least a week of clothes in there.
