Looking for some sunglasses to wear while running - my giant Audrey Hepburn style ones aren’t cutting it on long runs 😂. I’d like something that stays up on my nose and is relatively low profile since I also usually wear a hat and have headphones on.
I like Tifosis. They are a really good price point and come in "sports" styles and some that are geared towards a more casual look. I find they fit my smallish face well.
This may sound strange, but if I were buying a new pair of sunglasses I'd probably buy these: smile.amazon.com/Jackson-Safety-Polarized-28635-Gunmetal/dp/B009I2XLVG If you search amazon for tinted safety glasses, you'll get a bunch of hits for cheap sunglasses that look like cycling glasses (hence they fit well under a helmet or hat). I wear some when I mow the lawn or use power tools outside. Unpolarized ones are cheaper of course - I've got a friend who buys a big pack of them (not sure exactly which ones) so they're like $2-3 each so they don't have to worry about losing them.
I have both Goodrs and Tifosis and like the Tifosis a lot more. They feel more substantial (the Goodrs tend to feel a little flimsy) and don't fog up. Plus there was some uproar not horribly long ago regarding some posts Goodr made on their social media that were intended to promote a new sunglasses color combo but ended up seeming to make light of recreational drug use-when followers spoke up about it, they released an "apology" that was more of a "sorry not sorry". The whole thing put a bad taste in my mouth so I decided to try Tifosis after that and found I like them better. I will still wear my Goodrs but they're not my favorite.
Another brand of sunglasses that I like for running are Blenders. I have these to run in www.blenderseyewear.com/collections/womens/products/moon-dawg but have two pairs of their aviators and another two pairs of regular sunglasses to wear for the hell of it. You could say I have a bit of a sunglasses problem
I’ve worn Goodrs for years, but they fog, and my pair were getting pretty beat up. I got a code to try Tifosis as a chapter leader doe MRTT, and they are fantastic! Same price point as Goodr, at least to start ($25). I have the Swank and I’m eyeing the Svago. I’ve started wearing them everyday. The style is similar to my Ray Ban wayfarers, but they’re a lot lighter, and don’t give me that weird mark on my nose bridge.
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.

osulori , those Blenders aviators look awesome! I’ve been in mourning after somehow losing my Maui Jim aviators in my garage. At $45, I may try these!
I really like them! I have a solid black pair and the green/purple pair. In fact, I just ordered another of the green/purple ones because I love them so much and my first pair has gotten scratched up (because I suck at remembering to put them in their little pouch).

Thanks everyone! I got a pair of Tifosi Swanks at a marathon expo today and so far really like them. They are lighter weight and fit my face better than the Goodr.
