Any brands of sunglasses out there that look and fit like Oakley Fives but aren't Oakley?

I'd asy good luck and you'll probably just get imitations.

I've been looking for a pair that are like the Oakley Square Wire 2.0's. OMG how I've looked. They all seem simlar, but its just not the same. In the end, I got a pair from a stand in the mall.

:(

That makes me sad. My Fives flew off my car yesterday (forgot they were on there) and were destroyed on the highway.

They no longer make the color that I had so I am now on a quest for new ones.

RIP Green Oakley Fives.. you will be missed.

look at the sporty brands marketed towards athletic nature... stuff at REI like Smith, and Rudy Project... imo they dont have the quality of Oakleys, though. i miss my Square Wire 2.0s :(

See if there is a sunglasses hut outlet somewhere near you. I saw a some oakleys with older colors there, just not hte square wires. Damn them for being so popular.

Uhm, Rudy Project is at least as good as Oakley. I love the pair I have.

Ever since I paid $90 and got my Raybans, I've been convinced that you actually do get what you pay for in sunglasses. My raybans have been through hell and the lenses aren't scratched. I was sick of going through 3 pairs of $20 sunglasses in a year.

Get a pair of Oakleys if you really want them.. they are usually worth it as long as you don't lose them. Why mess with your eyes? You only have 2 of them.
