Which sunglasses?

For those of us with mini faces, the Smith Toaster is the one from the Smith line. I splurged and got the polarized set and I use them for cycling, fishing, hiking, hopping about, you name it. The polarized ones are spendy but you can get non polar for about $60 I think. I am very, very good to mine and they have been going strong without major scratches for going on 3 years (I think??).

A friend of mine whose face is between the Slider 01 and the Toaster got a pair of "Native" brand glasses. She likes them because they sit off of her face just a tad without breakable nose pads.

Apologies for the delay in replying, have had problems with my pc.
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and advice. I'd never even heard of Smith, but searched for a stockist here in the UK, who has a whole range of them - will check out all your suggestions.
Thanks again for the taking the time to reply

I've had great luck with Tofosi, the price is right, you get 3 pair lenses and the fit is perfect. I have had bad luck with Oakley frogskins and have had to send them back twice because the keep breaking apart Try this link;

Smiths just don't suit me, and I have never tried on a pair of Oakleys that don't give me eyelash-touching problems. On that front though, I find Nike sunglasses to be really good; not exactly cheap, but light, comfortable and not even a hint of eyelash-scrapage. Probably would look a little bug-eyed space monsterish on very narrow faces, but look fine on the average gal. Adidas are good too, but equally - if not more - pricey and their wrap-around styles seem to be more prone to inducing bug-eyed space monsterism.

Oakley for me, for years and years. Not sure about how they fit small faces, but if you can find a pair you like, the optics are outstanding. I don't much care about how I look in my sunglasses ... my eyes seem to be very sun-sensitive so full coverage is a must. My newest pair -- Dartboards -- I am totally in love with. Just rode a century with them and forgot they were even on my face. Distortion-free wrap-around, copper lens to cut glare, light as a feather. Can't sing high enough praises.

Yeah, Oakley lenses are superb; a shame that they just don't fit right.

Rudy Project rocks! I've already raved about these in another forum. They aren't cheap, but are relatively impervious to scratches and come with a bomber hard case to store and trasport them in. They will replace scratched lenses no questions asked. I have Skeeys, which are a bit goofy on my small face, but they have come out with smaller models (most with the suffix "SX" as in "Rydon SX") in the years since I got mine. Yes, I have had the same pair for years and have not had to replace the lenses, and I am not the most careful gal around. They have a lot of lens options. I have a very narrow bridge nose, can't wear most plastic frames, and the Skeeys are one of the few glasses that have an adjustable bridge.
