This is Glenn from Clearwater. You sold me a pair of Boston Bills in Miami for the Ironman 70.3 race. You asked me to drop you a line and send you a picture afterwards, so here you go. The main reason I am taking the time to do this today, is because I love everything about them. My old glasses would fog up even though they were supposed to be anti-fog, and they would give me a headache after a while even though they were supposedly polarized and made for comfort. The Boston Bills that I purchased from you did not fog up at all, and they stayed comfortable all day long. I hardly noticed them on my face at all. They were so light and comfortable in fact, that I wore them for the whole run, something that I never did with my old sunglasses.They offered great protection from the sun without any distracting changes in color, and they provided a perfect barrier from the wind-blown dirt and debris on the bike ride out and back. I am so glad that my old glasses broke, and that you were on hand in Miami so I could buy a pair from you. If they are as durable as they seem to be due to their flexibility, I can't imagine ever having to buy another pair. Thanks!
Glenn M. Humphreys,
Incredibly impressed with your response time and service. I bought these 5
Nicholas Landry,
years ago when visiting friends in Clearwater, and bought a second pair
(slightly different style) online and had them shipped to me in CT last
year. Your sunglasses are more comfortable and better looking than brands
costing $100 more.
Boston Bill Sunglasses saved my face and eye. Hey, nobody likes to have a cycling accident, but it happens. My last ride I went down and did a face and head plant into the asphalt. After all my things were gathered my Boston Bill Sunglasses had a pretty scraped up lens and frame. They did stay intact and not shatter! Thanks for protection! More than just style! Saving my face so folks will recognize me when they say "Who's that in Boston Bill Sunglasses?"
Too much attitude for sunglasses with attitude?

When my $24 sunglasses from Target broke the other day, I began keeping my eye open for a new pair of sunglasses. Maybe this time I will bite the bullet and invest a little into a pair and get the expensive “running” sunglasses. I looked around on the internet, glanced at some in the cases of Dick’s Sporting Goods and Sports Authority, and still couldn’t part with a $1oo bill for something that I seem to go through fairly quickly and don’t last all that long.
So, about a month ago I went into The Sporty Runner, a local running store and saw the display of Boston Bill sunglasses. They were light, fit snug (but not too tight) and seemed to disappear when I put them on. But will they stay on when I run? For $30, I gave them a try.
My first outing was a sweaty one and a bright one, a perfect day to try my new purchase. I was well down the trail and running into the mid-afternoon sun when I remembered I was wearing my new shades… and I was sold on them.
What I like about them:
1) they are light weight, no headaches back behind the ears
2) stylish (at least I think so)
3) amber lens: this is the first time I have tried them and they worked very well, including making the colors of nature REALLY stand out
4) full protection for your eyes – 100% UVA and UVB
5) even though they are light, they are tough and shatterproof – polycarbonate lenses and frame
So far, I am very pleased with these sunglasses, especially for the price. I highly recommend them and will soon be getting another pair (from The Sporty Runner of course).
