ANSI Z87.1 will not cut it safely. You make sure that they meet ANSI Z87.1-2003 + aka "High Velocity Standard" at the very least. There is a significant difference between it and the original Z87.1 standard.

Also make sure that they seal completely to your face to prevent a bb from entering the ocular cavity and have a retention strap to hold them on your head.

Remember eye protection requirements vary from field to field. Check with the organizer/owner where you plan on playing for what they accept. Ballistic goggles are usually recommended, with the exception of paintball fields as they require everyone to wear paintball approved goggles for their insurance to be valid.
