I purchased a pair of Francas (blondish-tan in color) last year that fit very well, so I didn't think anything of ordering another pair in a different color (the pretty purple). Unfortunately, the sizing is completely different on this pair; very wide through the temples, creating way too much movement for comfort or practicality. Also, this particular pair had a flaw--the earpieces didn't quite match (when laid upside-down on a flat surface, they weren't level, but rocked, indicating that the earpieces were off), causing them to sit crookedly on my face. If I didn't already have a pair that fit/perform perfectly, I'd really question this design, but I think anyone who tries them should just check them out carefully, as they *can* be quite nice.
