HiCycle2 replacement push-in eyeglasses nose pads (11mm x 6mm), 3 pairs
Product description
If your sunglasses or eyeglasses start to feel a bit “off” on the bridge of your nose, it’s often not the frame itself, but the nose pads. These HiCycle2 replacement nose pads are designed as a soft, comfortable barrier between your nose and the frame, with a push-in style mount.
On paper, they’re a straightforward way to improve day-long comfort without having to replace the whole pair. That said, the fit depends on whether your current nose pads use the push-in version, so it’s worth checking before you order.
What they’re for
These are replacement nose pads for eyeglasses and sunglasses that use a push-in style mount. The main idea is simple: create a more comfortable interface between your nose and the frame, helping the fit feel steadier and less irritating over time.
A practical example: if you wear your frames for commuting and a full workday and you notice redness or pressure building up around the bridge, swapping worn or uncomfortable nose pads can make a noticeable difference to how the glasses sit.
Key features (and the bits you’ll actually notice)
The pads are made from soft silicone and are offered as a bundle of 3 pairs. In use, soft silicone nose pads tend to feel more forgiving than harder materials, especially when you’re wearing glasses for hours.
They’re also sized for a specific fit: 11mm x 6mm x 1.5mm. That matters because nose pad replacements can look similar at a glance, but dimensions and mounting style are what determine whether they’ll match properly.
Compatibility: what they fit (and what to double-check)
The listing states they are “replacement for most all Costa Metal Sunwear”, including models such as the Loreto, KC, Shipmaster, Canaveral, Wingman, Piper, South point and more. So if you own one of the referenced frames, they’re very much the kind of accessory you’d hope to find.
However, the important limitation is the mounting type. These nose pads are for the push-in version only. The listing explicitly says to check the pictures for the mount type they fit.
It may not suit you if your frames use a different attachment style (even if the pad shape looks similar). If you’re unsure, checking the mount style is the one step that can save you hassle.
Where they fit in the “replacement” world
Nose pads are one of those small parts that can extend the life of a pair of glasses. Compared with replacing the entire frame, a replacement pad bundle is usually the less disruptive route—especially if the frame still feels right everywhere else.
That’s also why it makes sense to buy these if you’re keeping the same sunglasses or eyeglasses for everyday use, and only the contact point on your nose has become uncomfortable.

- Sizing matters: The 11mm x 6mm x 1.5mm dimensions need to match what your frames accept.
Is it worth it?
It’s worth buying if your sunglasses or eyeglasses have push-in nose pad mounts and you’re looking to replace worn pads for more comfortable wear across the day. It’s also a decent pick if you own a Costa Metal Sunwear frame from the examples listed and you’d rather refresh the fit than buy a whole new pair.
You may want to skip it if your frames use a different nose pad mounting style, or if the size looks like it might not match. In that case, you could end up with a replacement that doesn’t seat properly.
