I needed some sunglasses to complete my running outfit for a St. Patrick’s day race. Then it came to me, “Flamingos on a Booze Cruise.” Ummm what???? Well it goes back to when my wife and I were shopping at our local running store and I noticed a rack of sunglasses that looked fun. I found some pink ones she might like and upon seeing them and discovering the super fun aforementioned name, they became best friends (building bunk beds and doing karate in the garage).
This brings us to Oberon’s Viking Funeral, a shade of green that worked nicely for my run and also looks nice for the other 364.25 days of the year. They are lightweight and stayed put on my face while I ran. Because I am Dan (he’s a big dumb animal folks) I have already dropped them a few times and have failed to break them.
While the lenses looked gold from the front they actually give everything a blue tint while you are wearing them.
goodr makes some quality glasses for a decent price. Enjoy!

So very close to a 5-star review. I really, really want to love these.
I purchased my first pair of Goodr’s several months ago and found that I had struck pure gold. After logging literally thousands of miles running outdoors over the last decade, my search for affordable, reliable, insanely comfortable, and good looking sunglasses was over! No slip, no bounce, I can hardly tell they are there until I get compliments. It’s all true! My Mick and Keith’s Midnight Ramble shades, purchased at a local running store, served me well. Until the other day. It’s now super hot and humid, and after a run, I found myself out of unicorn tears, and resorted to gently rinsing these in water to clean them up. After I dried them with the micro fiber cloth, I noticed an odd round scratch. Well, I must have been careless somewhere, and they had a good run. I quickly ordered two more pair from Amazon. Unfortunately, after a mere two runs, my Oberon’s Viking Funeral quickly met the same fate, with the gold finish rubbing off like glitter as the micro fiber cloth was interpreted more like sandpaper. We’ve had a premature Viking Funeral...now I’m scared to even try on my Always Be Closing pair, which is ironic, right? I’m not sure how many times I can part with $25 if this trend continues. Once, I accepted. Twice is annoying. And seeing several similar reviews is disappointing? Unicorn tears are delicate, but Goodr lenses shouldn’t be.

Bought these glasses for a half marathon after my SIL recommended them as great, no-slip running sunglasses.
I broke the cardinal rule of half/marathon training and wore them new for race day... and they were great! Super lightweight and legitimately no slip.
Only complaints are that the lens polarization (or maybe just the nature of the color of the shades) made the whole world take on a weird, ultra-filtered hue, and they steamed/fogged up a little during the first 3 miles of the half between sunny and shady portions of the course. Otherwise they were exactly what I needed. Great purchase for $25!
