Great service, reliable
Received bolle nose pads Bolle replacement quickly, so high rating for good service. Glad that replacements offered online. Nose pads are comfortable, and I purchased the new pads since one of my original nose pads broke, after 10 years. Customer reviews are helpful for those who don't know about the best glue for attaching the nose pads. Seems the loctite glue is recommended for many. I used the E-6000 glue, available at crafts stores. This industrial strength clear adhesive, worked quickly. Just enough glue on the frame area where the nose pads holes will go, attach the nose pads, hold still in place for 20 seconds, then I set glasses aside for overnight to make sure it holds.

Great Find!
I was very happy to see these offered. I've had an extra pair of Bolle Vigilante sitting around with just one nose pad. The pads were re-glued once before. However, the left one fell off, and I lost it.When the new set came I noticed that they were slightly smaller than the originals. Since I didn't have a lot of choice, I pulled off the remaining pad, and saved it in the package that the new pads were sent in. Then came the decision on what kind of glue to use. After a lot of looking around I settled for Loctite "Vinyl, Fabric, & Plastic - Flexible Adhesive". It's transparent. I let the glue dry overnight before trying the sunglasses on.Surprisingly, the slightly smaller pads worked just as well as the originals. I though that, being smaller, they would put the sunglasses closer to my face. The reason I'm mentioning this is because the Bolle Vigilante sunglasses fit very close to the eyes, anyway. It can be irritating if one's eyelashes are constantly making contact with the lenses. I don't know if anybody else has ever had that problem with close fitting sunglasses. I have. So, I thought I'd bring it up just in case there was any concern about these slightly smaller pads.All in all, I'm totally pleased that Amazon is presenting these for Rally Tennis. The only reason I don't give the product five stars is because there is no glue, or even gluing information, enclosed with the product.

Too much money for too little product.
I bought a pair of Bolle Vigilantes about 15 years ago. I loved them so much I bought a second pair about 8 years ago (so I keep a pair in my car and one with my workout gear). The biggest flaws with these glasses is that the temple grips and the nose pieces wear out and come off, usually within the course of a season.In the early days, I just called Celestron (the manufacturer) and they cheerfully replaced the temples and nosepads. I guess they felt than that anyone who shelled out more than $100 for a pair of glasses deserved to get the parts. But now they charge. Not only do they charge, it's an arm and a leg!Unfortunately, the glasses have otherwise held up very well, and it's easier to swallow $15-$20 a year to keep them going than to shell out that much (including prescription inserts) on a new pair. The frames are getting scratched on the older pair and they are slowly going out of style, but I'm slowly getting older, so I guess that balances things.If I could buy several pairs of temple grips and nose pads for a reasonable price, I would love that option.

Three Stars
Fit well, but needed a spot of glue to hold. Also, not as padded as original.

Hard to Find Repair Product for Bolle Vigilante Sunglasses
I've had a pair of Bolle Vigilante sunglasses for about 10 years and only use them for golfing. They are still in excellent condition. Recently, I noticed that one of the rubber nose pads was missing, which must have fell off somewhere on the course. As I really like these sunglasses and did not want to purchase a brand new pair, I looked into where to buy just the missing nose pad. As I should have known, Amazon never fails me. They had another company (Speert of Deerfield Beach, FL.) on the Amazon site offering a pair of genuine Bolle nose pads specifically for my sunglasses. The pads were under $8, with free shipping, so I ordered them on a Wednesday and had them in the mail on that Saturday.Additionally, I found a video on YouTube on how to glue ( I used Locktite Super Glue Gel Control) the nose pad back onto the sunglasses. I now have the sunglasses repaired (took about 5 minutes) and also an extra nose pad, just in case for the future.Thank you Amazon & Speert!

Pads must be glued and it's a tricky operation
As other reviewers have pointed out, these nose pads have to be glued in place. But it's a delicate operation and the pads don't sit firmly in the correct position so it's easy to glue them somewhat misaligned. Also, if you don't use the right glue the pads pop off and can't be reglued. Bolle should provide a tiny glue capsule or at least recommend what kind of glue to use.

New life to worn out sunglasses
For some reason the rubber nose pads wore out on my Bolle' sunglasses. Since I really liked the glasses I tried to find a source for the nose pads that had worn out. I turned to the internet. With Google's search engine I was guided to Amazon's web site where I did find just what I was looking for. Ordering was a breeze and within a few days I was in business again with well fitting, comfortable sunglasses. I used Super Glue to affix the pads to the glasses.

Bolle Nose pads
The nose pads for the Bolle Parole cycling sunglasses were a surprise to find on the web. One had entirely detached and the second was working loose.Thank you for carrying them.There were no instructions on what glue to use to attach them so I used LockTite's crazy glue with the plastic conditioner and they seem to be on pretty well. This is my only downside to the product. There is a suggestion that a flexible adhesive would work. Crazy glue is of course not flexible but silicon seal did not work at all. So the mysterious adhesive remains elusive.Naturally the Bolle web site is full of hype and is of no practical use.
