    I tried the medium sized Wayfarers and decided I wanted to try the 54 Large instead. Much better! There isn't an enormous difference in size, but it is noticeable. They didn't fit perfectly out of the box, so I took them to a reputable optical shop/lab and had them fitted to my face. I was very surprised at how malleable the plastic was; they used a special heater to bend the ends of the temples so they fit around my ears just right. This makes them more comfortable, and it also makes them stay on even if I'm moving my head around or bending to pick something up. The only things that aren't adjustable are the nosepads and their hardness takes a little getting used to. While I was at the shop, I had them remove the dumb Ray-Ban logo on the right-hand lens. The shop I went to did all this for free. The tortoise frames are much darker than they look in ads or photos; they almost look black at first glance. I'm going to keeping wearing these even after they go out of style! (again)

    I love these sunglasses. I was worried because I have a narrow face but they fit great! I have a pair of the 48s and the 50s are much better. Surprising what a big difference in the size. I highly recommend!

    I wore these glasses for 15 years or so when I was working outside in a lot of sunlight and they are the best I ever had, by far!

    Excellent quality and fit. Just what I expected from Ray Bay. They are large, but I knew that when I bought them. Now, if they could only help me sing Pretty Woman better they would be perfect!

    The sunglasses are hands down the finest pair that I have ever owned. I was a little worried about purchasing sunglasses online (because of the sizing issue) but these were the perfect fit. I have a long head and larger features so this large frame complemented my head very well. This makes me more likely to use Zappos.com in the future!

    These glasses are great! They have the look of some much pricier brands, and look just as good!

    Ray-Ban's 2140 - I love the original Ray-Ban sunglasses for their classic look. I am also happy that they are now sold in different colors. I do have one issue. The people who are responsible for inspecting orders are not doing an adequate job. One pair of the sun glasses I bought was not balanced properly at the temple. This has compromised the comfort and fit of the glasses. I will take them to an eye glass office and try to have them adjusted properly.

    Ray Ban 2140 - These sunglasses are fantastic. The perfect shape for a rounder face, they are really comfortable and stylish. The lenses are great. They are green/grey but are almost true to color unlike most dark lensed sunglasses when you wear them. I recommend these sunglasses to anyone who wants quality, comfort and classical style.

    Thank goodness for Zappos! I was initially hesitant about these: Wayfarers had made a huge comeback in the last few years, and I'd already lived through the 80s revival, so I just couldn't imagine being a part of the machine again. However, these are a truly iconic style that you cannot really argue with. The smaller size looks downright awful on my angular face, and I am used to wearing oversized vintage sunglasses anyway, so I gave this style a whirl. SO GLAD I DID! It took me few tries to get just the right ones before I finally settled on these. They are a fantastic size for my big ol' head (for such a petite gal, I have a monster noggin!), but for those who might worry about them being too large-lensed, I say don't. They are the perfect in-between size for those like myself who prefer larger lenses, but not massive for those who might feel conspicuous in "bug" sunglasses. With Zappos very liberal return policy (including free shipping), I was able to finally make the right choice after a few tries and I am truly satisfied with the supreme customer service, and my new shades. I even ended up buying another of the exact same style for my clear prescription, everyday glasses. YAY ZAPPOS. Thanks again!

    Original Wayfarer - I've had three pairs of the original wayfarers and I ordered the third pair from Zappos. I had trouble finding them at mall stores and boutiques so I ordered them of Zappos. I bought some Vans shoes from Zappos before and my conclusion is that this site is awesome. So many other sites are bogus and unreliable. Zappos it the real deal. I dig the look a quality of the original, big wayfarers. They're rad.

    Timeless... The Original Ray-Ban wayfarer will never go out of style and this larger incarnation is no exception. It is quite a bit larger then the medium sized one, but they still work for me. I own a pair of both sizes that I swap out based on the look I'm going for as these could be a bit more fashion forward because of the size or would be really good on the beach to block as many of those rays as possible. Overall, awesome shades. I'll be buying these in Tortoise soon.

    H U G E - No one could ever say I have a little head, but these glasses were really big on me. Too big. So I am going to try the mediums. Unless you like giant sunglasses these might not be the one for you.
