I buy cheap ones, because I tend to lose them constantly. I just make sure they fit snugly enough - I bounce up and down in the store and get strange looks.
I had a pair of $30 cheapos from college, after like 5 years I finally slammed them in a car door and broke them.
I replaced them with $160 Oakley's, which I loved. 3 months later I dropped them in a taxi.
I replaced those with $40 USASport sunglasses from an expo. I had them about 5 years before forgetting them when I returned a rental car.
I replaced those with $130 Ray-Ban's. 10 months later my daughter broke them.
In the market for another good pair of cheapos, I bought some at CVS that cracked in 2 months.
Oakley Flak Jackets. I'm a cheap-ass in most respects, but I require my shades to be bitchin'.

But can you see anything I would like to know if I am running up to a dog or a tree stump.
Yes, I would know after it bites me.( SR and friends)

See now, I wouldn't have been clever enough to make that joke. That's funny.
Seriously - I think the point is that if one is wearing contacts, then cheap sunglasses are fine, so dog v stump would be see-able because of the contacts.
I'm gonna need some new prescription sunglasses soon (I don't wear contacts), and I haven't poked around yet to learn if Oakleys or some of the coolio kinds can have special lenses constructed for them.
I fly.
Yep you sure can see alright I have had no trouble at all seeing, I use them for fishing too, the polarized ones take the glare off the water and on bright wet days takes the glare off the streets when driveing, as long as they work why spend 50 to 100 bucks when you can get by for 10 and not worry dropping them or worrying about loseing them
just my opinion everybody has there own way to make running as enjoyable as possible

depends somewhat on your prescription because some prescriptions cannot do wraparound.

Aside from excellent UV (A&B) protection, get the "least dark" lenses your eyes can stand comfortably (eyes won't dilate as much and less UV will get through to the parts you need to protect.)

Like Run2Eat said.....it depends on your prescription. I don't wear contacts and my lenses are difficult for some glasses types. Just ask the optitian if any old sunglasses can be fitted with prescription lenses. I found a pair of just fairly regular/plain Nike sunglasses that I liked and asked if they could put prescription lenses in them......and they could. I found a pair of Rudy Project glasses that I LOVED....but my prescription lenses couldn't work in them. There are always those options that have prescription lense inserts (frame behind frame)...........which kills the coolio factor.
That's completely true, yet sounds dirty.
