Hmm. I'm in the market for new glasses as I think my prescription has changed. I purchased my previous pair from WP and I found the experience to be quite nice. I was able to get on their site and sort/filter by men's/women's styles, color, shape, and size. I was able to easily select 5 that were the right shape for my face and the right size and then try them on at home and get the one I wanted.
Does Shuron offer that sort of experience? Looking at their site, I just see a list of glasses. I don't see a way to easily filter that down to ones that apply to me (narrow, rectangular). Part of the appeal of WP to me was the ease of getting something that I thought looked good and fit good at a reasonable price. Without some sort of way to search/curate, I don't think Shuron competes with that.
Of xourse, that's only the buying experience and doesn't pertain to the quality of the product and the customer service after buying.
> they offer real sizing to fit your head instead of a choice of "small" and "big" options
I'm confused by this. Is that not what something like WP[1] has (see the measurements details)?

- wyclif 8y agoYeah, I'm only talking about the quality of the frames. WP has a pretty slick buying experience, I'll give them that. Shuron needs to get with 21st century UX. But...their frames are objectively higher quality than WP.
- Kihashi 8y agoAh yeah. That makes sense. I primarily wear contacts, so I haven't really had a problem with durability. The buying experience and cost were more important to me.
- apple4ever 8y agoThat slick buying experience is pretty helpful. After years of paying $200+ for glasses, I decided to go with WP. It was a little nerve wracking- but having the home try on (and the option of a store try on) helped. Sure, maybe the glasses aren't as nice as the ones I had. But they are $100 cheaper. And that's a decent chuck of change.
