Back-to-school doesn’t just mean fresh notebooks and new sneakers. It also means soccer tournaments, cross-country meets, tennis lessons, bike rides, and weekend pickleball games. For families who spend more time outdoors than indoors this time of year, goodr has built a reputation for fun, affordable sunglasses that don’t take themselves too seriously—but they definitely take comfort seriously.

Here’s the good news: goodr has hundreds of styles and color ways. But that might make it tricky to find the pair that’s perfect for you. So we sat down with goodr to get some answers to some of the most common questions they hear.

Q: Does goodr make sunglasses for smaller or narrower faces? What about larger faces, where my sunglasses always feel too tight?

Yes! Select color ways of goodr’s best-selling frame style, the OG, are available in Small and Large sizes. The small OG is a great choice for teens, petite adults, or anyone whose sunglasses usually slide around because the frames are simply too wide. For wider faces, you can try the Large OG or their frame style called the BFG. These frames are specifically designed for larger heads while maintaining the same lightweight, no-slip fit that goodr is known for.

Q: My kid runs cross country and I play pickleball. Does goodr have pairs that will actually stay while we are active?

All goodr frame styles offer a no slip, no bounce promise, so they’re suitable for all outdoor activities. The key for finding one that works for you is finding the right fit (see the first question), personal aesthetic, and any tech features that are important to you. Many runners love goodr’s Bolt G and Sonic G styles because they offer max visibility and ventilation in the lenses to avoid fogging. Again, all goodr glasses will stay on for your pickleball match, but our personal favorite for pickleball is the Mach G.

Q: Should I get mirrored or non-reflective lenses?

The mirrored styles are great for bright, sunny days because the mirrored coating helps reduce glare and can make prolonged outside activities more comfortable, but they’re a bold look. If you’re outdoors exercising in direct sunlight, we do recommend the reflective lenses. Non-reflective lenses are a versatile option if you want a more understated look.

Q: Which is the best style for a low nose bridge?

Take a look at the Bolt G collection. Its adjustable nose piece allows for a more customized fit, making it an excellent option for anyone with a lower nose bridge or who struggles to keep sunglasses comfortably in place.

Whether you’re cheering from the sidelines, logging training miles, or simply trying to survive another season of carpools in style, goodr makes it easy to find sunglasses that fit your face, your sport, and your budget!
