Folks that blast expensive sunglasses just haven't used 'em much. I'm presently using a pair of Wal-Mart cheapies and they just suck. They don't shade the light well, they're uncomfortable on my nose and they're kinda heavy. I also have a big head so they pinch at my temples and give me a bit of a headache (also a result of the lousy nosepiece)
They actually look pretty sharp and there's not any good way of knowing that they aren't more expensive than they are, but they're just uncomfortable.
The money buys you comfort, not style. It's why showing pictures of expensive sunglasses and saying "Why?" just doesn't make sense. It's not the style that makes them worth the extra money.
Look at it this way - it's not unlike keeping your house at 70 in the summer when you'd be just fine at 74. Sure, 70 costs more, but by God, it's just more comfortable.
There are areas where I'll spend a few extra bucks for added comfort. Sunglasses are one of those areas.

I'm in the market for my first nicer pair of sunglasses, and this is something that concerns me: the lack of options available to someone like me with a big ol' noggin. What brand(s) would you recommend for this?
