I've never been one to pay more than $20 for sunglasses. Mostly because they get lost, sat on, and I prefer the more fun designs like this one. But these are more flimsy than others I've had. The arms are very soft, thin metal and bend out of position almost every time. Only the second time wearing them, the nose bridge pad came off on one side. Thankfully I happened to have an extra in a repair kit. I don't know if it's the brand, or if it's the difference between a $5 and $15 pair, but I wouldn't recommend these for everyday wear.
