These frames look pretty good in the photos but look even better in person. They're heavy, but in a good sort of way; in a "wow these feel sturdy" sort of way. I'm not sure what kind of metal they're made from but it feels like some sort of really strong aluminum; when you hold the glasses from just the tip of one of the temple "ear-rests" while both temple ear-rests are fully open/extended, the frames or ear-rests don't bend or sag at all under the weight/tension of being held at just one end because they're so sturdy (which is extra impressive since like I mentioned, they're a tad heavy, but not so heavy that they're actually noticeable once they're resting on your head).
For the record, the frames feel very comfortable to wear; as I mentioned I don't notice they're there since the lenses are large enough to cover almost all my peripheral vision , and they're heavy yet still light enough to not be annoying; I forget I'm wearing them. If I could change one thing about them it would be the "tortoise acetate coated tips", just cause I've never been a huge tortoise fan on glasses, but it's just on a small part of these so it doesn't bother me much (and I won't take away a star for that, it's just my personal preference and I knew that's how they came), but if anyone at EyeBuyDirect is reading this I'd love if I could choose these with maybe brown or black tips, rather than tortoise (for that matter, I like the frames in bronze but I might like even more a gunmetal or brown or black version of the frames as well). But 5 stars, no complaints. I'd highly recommend these and I might buy them again (especially if there were more color options in the future).
