“These glasses, were very well made. I really loved the clarity and feel. The Honey Tortoise is really cool but a bit showey for my simple everyday wear. I liked the steel pieces and the weight. I ultimately went for the pacers they are a little more durable for work/ life/ play.”

“I’m a big fan of Smith already, and I was glad to see they had prescription glasses. Obviously you can’t try on frames when you shop online, but I was able to see the measurements and shape, and they looked *almost* identical to my Shoutout sunglasses, which I love. It’s turns out I was correct, and they are basically the same shape, only a tiny bit smaller. I love them and the whole experience was great. They were quoted at a month lead time, and arrived in 6 days! My eye insurance rebated me half the cost, so I got a pair I love, from one of my favorite brands, at such an affordable price. Thanks, as always, Smith!”
“My eye doctor gave me the prescription and made sure I ordered the correct lens. However after a week of wearing the glasses they continued to cause dizziness and eye strain. My eyes could never adjust.”
“These look good, and I’ve gotten a ton of compliments about them, but oh wow, they’re big. First off, they are way bigger on my face than I expected (maybe some images of people wearing them would help with perspective), these end at just about the cheek height of where my nostrils flare. I can handle that, but they just refuse to stay on, just endlessly sliding down my nose, even though the arms feel tight enough. Even when wearing a cap trying to secure them in place when running they slide. I fixed them so often during a work meeting I started to feel like people would assume it’s a nervous tic. Don’t get me started on trying to keep them on during a Pilates class.
I haven’t had the time yet to take them to an optician to see if they can tighten them or do something about the nose grip.
For context, I don’t have a particularly small head/face/nose; am female; and don’t have this issue with any other glasses or sunglasses I own. That’s why I think it’s odd with these as I specifically bought them for comfort during sports.”
“Generally, love the way the glasses look and they are light and generally comfortable. For the price, I am ultimately happy with them.
However, there are a couple things to note. First, the photochromic coating from clear to tinted is effectively pointless because it doesn't get dark enough to do anything. Although it's clear they get darker, they aren't anywhere near dark enough to function as a sunglass. Nowhere on the website is there any information at all about the degree of transition on the photochromic lenses.
Second, one of my lenses is a bit undersized so when I'm cleaning the lens it will pop out of the frame easily.”
