Trying Oakley running sunglasses at a Suseong, Daegu eyewear store

I've been really into running lately, so today I visited Four Eyes Eyeglasses Lotte Super Suseong Branch (포아이즈안경 롯데슈퍼수성점), which carries a bunch of different brands like Rudy Project and Oakley, to look for sunglasses to run in. Since I'm still a running beginner and don't know much about sunglasses, the owner kindly explained the pros, cons, and features of each pair and let me try them all on one by one, which made choosing so much easier. Let me walk you through the brands, sunglasses, and glasses I checked out.

Four Eyes inside Lotte Super — location and hours

As the name suggests, Four Eyes Eyeglasses Lotte Super Suseong Branch is located inside the Lotte Super store. You'll see it right when you walk in.

• 🕒 Hours: Mon–Sat 10:00–21:00 / Sunday 12:00–20:00

Walking into the store, there were really so many different kinds of glasses and sunglasses. I hadn't been to an eyewear store since I was a kid getting my first pair of glasses, so it felt a little awkward, and I wondered if it was okay to just try things on — but the owner kindly explained each pair one by one.

What running sunglasses brands are available?

When I said I was here for sunglasses to wear while running, the owner showed me some currently popular brands. There were products from various brands including Oakley and Rudy Project.

How Oakley felt to wear

Oakley is such a famous brand that I recognized the name and was curious, so I tried a pair on when the owner offered. They were so light I could barely feel I had them on, and the fit was great — I could see why they're so popular. I even felt like I could somehow run faster wearing them. I liked the design and wanted to buy them, but since I'm still a beginner, I decided to go with something in a lower price range instead, which was a bit disappointing.

Golf and fashion sunglasses, plus Ray-Ban

Further inside the store, besides sports sunglasses there were also golf sunglasses and fashion brand sunglasses. They even had Ray-Ban, famous for being the brand Jennie wears, and when I asked about the wide selection, the owner said this store carries an especially diverse range even by Daegu standards, so a lot of sunglasses enthusiasts come here. Looking around myself, I could see it really was diverse, and I felt like I'd come to the right place.

The running sunglasses I finally chose

After trying on this pair and that pair and checking prices, I found running sunglasses in the price range we had in mind.

They weren't as light or comfortable as the Oakley pair I'd tried earlier, but there was little shaking when I ran in them, and I liked the design, so I decided to go with these.

There's also a variety of popular designer glasses on display, so if you're torn on what to buy, come see and try them on for yourself.

Besides glasses, contact lenses are also available at promotional prices, so keep that in mind.

Final thoughts

That was my introduction to Four Eyes Eyeglasses Lotte Super Suseong Branch in Suseong-gu, Daegu. There were even more types of sunglasses than I expected, and being able to try them on and hear explanations helped me pick exactly the kind of product I wanted. It was also fun getting to look at and try on trendy products. Browsing all sorts of items together with Cherry Mom made for a fun date too, which made the visit even more enjoyable.
