Not for small faces

By Ranked #445 - Sunglasses August 18, 2009

I have to say that these look really really cute. Looks-wise I love them. But, they are so uncomfortable I just can't stand wearing them for more than an hour. The problem is really that my face is too small. I can wear the Smith Toasters (see my review) perfectly. The Shorelines slide down my nose so much they fall right off. Nose pads would help. I got the stick on nose pads which make them a little better but the other problem is that they hurt behind my ears. I think its bc they are too big so they don't sit on the right spot behind my ear. The angled part that seems like it should hold them on is way too far back. My nose might be too skinny for them too. They also feel sooooo heavy. But, I am used to the super-light Toasters. So, I'd say if you can wear medium to large glasses you can rock 'em, but if you have a small face I'd skip the Shorelines. Also, sometimes my husband wears them if he forgets his and they don't look too bad on him either. Although, on him we call them the 'stunner shades'...so that should give you an idea of how they look on a guy.
