The house
Stepper, and why the frames are more than plastic
Hans Stepper started making frames in Germany in 1970 and built the company on one obsession: fit. Stepper frames come in more sizes and bridge widths than almost any other house, in titanium and in TX5, a light, flexible, hypoallergenic material Stepper developed for people who react to other plastics. They are not loud frames. They are the ones people come back to for a second and third pair because they simply never hurt.
Known for
Three things to know about Stepper
- 01
Fit first
More sizes, bridges and temple lengths than most houses
- 02
Titanium and TX5
Light, flexible, hypoallergenic, colour that lasts
- 03
Made in Germany
Engineered rather than styled
Who they suit
Anyone who has struggled to find a frame that sits right, narrow or wide faces, low bridges, sensitive skin, and children who need a frame that survives school.
A name on the frame does not mean it will suit your face. We bring you a shortlist rather than a wall, and we say gently when one does not work.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I try Stepper glasses on near me?
At Abra & Co in Winsford and Heckmondwike. Book an eye test online or ring the practice, and we will have the collection ready for you. If there is a particular model you want, tell us and we will bring it in.
Can I have my prescription in Stepper frames?
Yes, including varifocals and high prescriptions. We measure and fit the lenses here. Single vision lenses run from £109 to £499, and every option is shown with its price before you decide.
Do you sell Stepper sunglasses?
Yes, and we glaze them with your prescription, including tinted and polarised lenses. Ask when you book and we will have the sunglass collection out for you.
What if Stepper does not suit my face?
Then we will say so, kindly, and show you what does. A name on the frame does not mean it will suit you; that is the first thing we say about every brand. And if you buy and change your mind within sixty days, we change the frame or the lenses at no charge.
How much do Stepper glasses cost?
Frames across our ranges run from £70 to £850; Stepper sits towards the upper part of that. Lenses are priced separately and shown before you decide. Pay half today and spread the rest over 4, 6, 8 or 10 months, interest free, with nothing added.
