    Check out a local shop and see which ones fit. You should be able to press them to your eyes and have them stick without the straps on.

    I prefer my Aqua-sphere Kaimens, they're great goggles.

    Pretty much a trial and error thing. IMO

    They should stick without being strapped on as they said, then you just need to try them on. I wear Speedo Women's Vanquishers and have since I was 12. They are a very popular style and come in many colors/styles. If you are swimming in a lake, they have clear lenses to make it easy to see but they also have mirrored styles that can help keep the glare out during summer pool workouts. Hope you find a good pair!

    Beware of blue tint with OWS's. It makes it hard to see the orange bouys. (Drives me NUTS!). As long as the suction is good, you're solid. I'd highly recommend visiting your mom n pop shops (running stores, bike stores, swim shops, tri stores) before ordering things online. You may pay a little more, but those extra dollars spent will pay for themselves many times over from the expert guidance the store workers will give you. WAY worth the visit!
