Purchase of luggage for carry on...

Airlines all have different attitudes. I have found that soft carry on
bags are usually easier to deal with.

Another virtue to soft-side seems to be that airlines are less fussy. We
have twice been stopped by airlines ( France and AIitalia) because our
carry-on did not fit in their test frame ( it fits in BA and Delta and
others) But we saw several people come on board with very large bags --
floppy and irregular in shape.
Air France is especially horrid in Venice. The tiniest bit of overweight
( and I mean less than a kilo) will get extra charge. And when AF insisted
we check our carry-on, things were broken.

If it's your feet, then no problem.

Its also "fun" to get wheeled bags up and down train platform stairs.

Also for those people behind you, that 'wait' for you to change
handles in a busy part of the station. Why can't they make those
things so you can just drag them up and down stairs any which way?

and not forgetting passengers at Schiphol, who drag them over your
feet.
