The side of the shades are durable. I can say that much. I thought they would fit my face due to me having a small face. Yet in the end, it only made me look like Morbius or whatever Lawarence Fishburne's name was in &#34;The Matrix&#34;. If you're a funny person like me, you know what other jokes you can think of. I know of one that can make me cry and I'm the one who's telling the joke. So if you can't take a joke. I would not recommend these shades OR, the sharks are going to eat you alive.
