    I have a boots pair that is about 5 years old.

    They are so worn out now. I only replaced them with the half price ones because they have marks on the lenses. And the paint is coming off the frames.

    Always found the boots ones to be great.


    Yours

    How did they break and who made them?

    I have a pair of freerange bought from boots years ago, most comfortable sunglasses I have ever had, may treat myself to another half price pair.

    The glasses were Tommy Hilfiger, and the hinge just simply snapped whilst being put on.
    How much ?????????!!!

    The voucher states:
    Redeemable brands
    -Sunglasses
    -Boots Opticians prescription sunglasses

    So yes, you should be able to use the voucher on any sunnies that Boots sell.

    I chose a pair of huge Audrey Hepburn style sunglasses (DD's mags say 'latest trendBoots brand &'!), marked £5 so £2.50 with voucher - must have been an error as SA went rushing off to check the stand.

    I went into Boots today hoping to get a voucher - nope it's now skin care vouchers but don't tell you until you've made the purchase. They may say accepted until June but they're not planning on letting too many people have a voucher and kept it low key at my local store when the offer was on. The POS for the offer was still on some of the displays and when this was mentioned they blamed other staff for slacking in their section. Not ideal but nothing I could do. They've now removed the misleading signage though after being told.

    The best they offer now is a free glasses case with every pair - for prices starting at over £30.00 I should hope you do get a case. But over £50.00 glasses at my store just get a little material bag as a case so beware... the offers might not be as great as they first appear.

    I guess its off to New Look or Primark -they may be cheap but at least you don't feel offended if/when they break like other branded items I can think of!
