Do the straps cut into your shoulder?

It does not cut into my shoulder because I don't over pack it. To make it heavy.

Not at all, and mine weighs up to 18 lbs. sometimes with everything I have in it. This is a really great bag; I got one last November and it still looks great and has held up well. Once it eventually busts I plan on getting the exact same one.

No, it would choke you and the arm pads would not fit, they are designed to fit your shoulders on the back only.

No. It's the one "annoying" thing about the backpack. The positives vastly outweigh this, though. Sometimes on my bicycle or motorcycle, the straps slap me, but it's really a minor issue. Mine has more than paid for itself over the years!

No. Unlike the pads made with bra straps to keep them in place, these pads do not have the straps.

No don't cut it. The top were the strap clips on unrolls and also has a zip lock to it. If you need more info please email me back. cabotsportinggoods@hotmail.com

No. If for some reason you were able to put the bag over your shoulders, it would be most uncomfortable. These straps are really meant for carrying in your hands. With the wheels, the bag rolls easily.

Yes. There are four rolls of the straps in the package. On each roll the straps are held together and need to to born apart. There is a perforated area that creates the hole to thread the strap through. Light duty but worth the money.

No, these straps are not padded. They are fairly thick, not uncomfortable, but not padded.

They are sewn on, but there are also buckles which can be used to adjust the length of the straps. At their shortest the straps will still fit over (smaller) shoulders.

I gave them as gifts and they said not that they remember and I don't think they have used a shoulder strap if it did. I'd say no. Hope this helps a little may want to check closer. I can say they have used these when traveling and are happy for the price.

They really cannot be cut. There is a 1.5 inch section of hook that buckles around to the longer loop portion. You could cut the loop section and re-sew it to the buckle if motivated enough. Probably easy if you have a sewing machine. That said, these straps are actually pretty well made and worth the price.

The straps that fit over the shoulders are elastic and adjust in length, like suspenders. I would think this would adjust for most people. Possibly someone with very heavy shoulders and upper back could have a problem, but surely they could be extended with a little effort.

They sell extensions for the arms that attach to the bottom of the shoulder pads. They extend about 6 inches down the arm, I personally don't use them, you very rarely get hit there.

Yes, it does come with shoulder straps. My daughter's 4/4 violin fits in very snug, not too tight and not too much room to slip around.

Yes, it comes with a fairly comfortable and adjustable shoulder strap. It is removeable.

Does it have straps to attach it around your waist (so that it stays on your back)?

Yes. A very comfortable one with a side strap for your shoulder, and two handle straps.
