What's so special about 'running' sunglasses?

Just wondering, as I want to get a new pair for running. Is it just the slight wrap-around shape to avoid glare from the side?

The wraparound does stop glare but also keeps them fitted onto your head. They just don't move at all whilst running and I don't notice that I have them on. I am loving my new pair!

My husband bought me these a few years ago Sandra and they are fab. They stay put even when I get really sweaty and they are very light and comfortable to wear. The big plus about them is they come with different filter lenses that you can change depending on the weather conditions and light. Highly recommend.

Ooh fab! What colour frame did you order? Mine are bright orange which isn't a colour I would normally choose because they clash a tad with my face but they are fun and seem to raise a smile from anyone I encounter! 😎

Boring black I'm afraid (orange on the inside!)
