The Best Running Sunglasses for Small Faces of 2021
The main thing we were looking for in putting together this list was a perfect fit—frames that won't bounce or slip. They're also all lightweight, have the extra grip to stay in place, and were designed with small faces in mind! They're even all available in prescription from SportRx.
Nike Maverick Small
The smaller-size cousin of Nike's Maverick frame, the Maverick Small has generous square lenses that provide optimal coverage. These sunglasses follow the recent trend of sports sunglasses that look trendy while providing sports performance.
