Goodr sunglasses inject the fun back into your running gear - blending vibrant style with sleek performance. They burst onto the scene in 2015 when running buddies Stephen Lease and Ben Abell decided the running world needed a major style upgrade.

Lease had his lightbulb moment catching himself in the mirror before a run - and realised his sportswear fell short in terms of fashion. During run club training, with his eyes set on the L.A marathon, he noticed that most runners wore fun sunnies designed for everyday wear - they weren’t built for running. This revelation sparked the creation of Goodr.

What Is So Special About Goodr Sunglasses?

Goodr didn’t just want to make another pair of shades - they aspired to reinvent running eyewear. In a market of ‘serious’ running sunglasses that were overpriced, overcomplicated and not particularly stylish, Goodr’s formula, known as the “4 Fs” stood out from the pack:

• Fun: Bold and colourful sunglasses with eye-catching styles 
• Fashionable: Lightweight sunglasses that look as good on the road, trail and race day as they do at brunch
• Functional: Bounce-free sunglasses with a specialised grip coating
• ’Ffordable: High performance sunglasses without the high price tag

With Goodr’s popularity rising, it became clear this was a recipe for performance sunglasses that runners actually wanted to wear. Since then, the company has expanded into cycling sunglasses and golf sunglasses, always keeping fun and function at their core.

Are Goodr Sunglasses Actually Polarised?

Yes - nearly all Goodr sunglasses, whether they’re Goodr mirrored sunglasses or Goodr tinted sunglasses, are polarised. 

Goodr polarised sunglasses are your secret weapon against blinding reflections. Normally, light scatters in every direction. However, when it bounces off flat surfaces like roads, water or snow, it gets organised into strong horizontal beams that create intense glare. 

Goodr polarised lenses are built with a special filter that blocks out harsh horizontal light while allowing vertical light to pass through unobstructed. The result is clearer, more comfortable vision with improved contrast, reduced eye strain and less squinting. Goodr sunglasses keep you run-ready in bright light - allowing you to stay focused from fun runs to marathon finish lines. 

While polarisation tackles glare, it’s not the same as UV protection - although they can go hand in hand. In the case of Goodr sunglasses, they all feature UV400 protection, providing an effective shield against UVA and UVB rays to help keep your eyes sun safe in your active lifestyle. 

Why Do Runners Wear Goodr Sunglasses?

Because life’s too short for boring running gear. Goodr makes sweat-resistant sunglasses and UV-blocking sunglasses that aren’t just a piece of outdoor equipment - they’re a style statement. Whether you’re sprinting through a marathon, biking up a hill or rejuvenating at a cafe during post-run recovery, Goodr running sunglasses bring the perfect balance of performance and playfulness.

Beyond gearing you up with fashionable sunglasses, runners choose Goodr because they solve all the usual problems of running eyewear. In short:

• They don’t slip when you sweat
