They remind me of AMH in Anchorage, but the store is much more cavernous. Some of the things I like: - free coffee waiting for you when you come in: perfect for the long, cold, dark winters of the interior - rare, local climbing and hiking books/guides - very friendly and helpful service - gear rental - outstanding selection Yes, it's expensive, but welcome to buying outdoor gear. If you only get out once or twice a year, it's probably not worth buying expensive gear. If it's something you do every other weekend, it easily pays for itself.

I needed new shoes and the ones I had currently went through 6 marathons / ultras and 8 half…read moremarathons since buying them in Montana in September 2017. Time for a change and the answer was Goldstream Sports here in Fairbanks. I wanted to have my feet evaluated, since my feet and running everywhere. Been there, done that - sort of thing. For me, it is always nice to get into a nice pair of training shoes, especially when the current pair is almost on its last legs and you know that it's been with you on your travels to run marathons and ultra distance events. I was suggested to come to this place, since I was in the market for new shoes. I needed expert advice on finding that new pair of shoes, as over the years of running, my feet tended to get wicked and just plain weird after so many miles and smiles across the country and even overseas. I found that Goldstream Sports had that person to help me with that specific task and she did it well. I arrived here on a Thursday afternoon, after a day of driving and shopping, I figured why not do this before heading back to my friend's home for dinner. The beauty of this experience is that I got to get tested on their customized treadmill, so they know exactly how I walk and run. It's nice to get evaluated for real and not just get any ol shoe to meet your budget. Being a runner for life needs specific criteria and having a great fitting shoe to train and race in is an important thing! I'm grateful that my friend had suggested this store to me and thankful for the service that I received in this store. Runners want comfort on their training runs and that elusive PR. Having comfortable shoes to do all the miles is one less thing to worry about! Happiness is all about running long and feel great about it. Having functional shoes that feel good and wears well is a good thing. Goldstream Sports can help you solve your running shoe needs, although you will need to come to Fairbanks, Alaska for a proper evaluation. The overall experience here at Goldstream Sports is as good as it can get. I shared my concerns to the expert shoe lady and the feedback helped me get into a specific shoe that was recommended by the treadmill gait analysis. They accept major credit cards, so that's always a good thing. They also sell running accessories and running fuel, as well as sell other gear for other active lifestyles. They also sell tri bikes and regular mountain bikes too, but I was here for the running shoes. The store itself sat in a residential area, somewhat out of the way from the city of Fairbanks, but it was good to come here to get things done. The parking situation here is very generous, plenty of parking for everyone who wants to start a running journey or to buy new trainers, since their old ones are getting old. Or for anyone who wants to get into the cycling / triathlon life, so come here too. Not sure if public transportation comes through the area, but best bet is to come here and see if you want to entertain running as your sport of choice. Uber/Lyft are great choices too. I was here for about 45 minutes in total, trying on a few pairs after getting evaluated. I settled on a pair, which was nice and kind of lightweight. The store itself was large enough that it stored a lot of merchandise, but intimate enough to get good service for what you need. The service itself was good. Alaska has no sales tax too, so it was nice not to pay extra for that, although I'm sure the prices are inflated anyway to make up for such taxes to the state government, among other things. The prices here can be expensive, but I think of it like an investment in my health and well being. After countless pairs of shoes bought over the course of 10 years and many many marathons events, it's always comes down to comfort and the proper fitting of the shoe to your feet. While it may be just another running store, consider it an investment that will help you take care of your health. It's always good to come here and check things out for yourself. Never know if you have that desire and passion to take that next step to dive into an exercise program or run your first half marathon or marathon. Sky's the limit! Never know what you can do when you try. If you are in the area and want running shoes - or even check out their bikes, come on by! I'm sure they would love to see you. I'm happy with my purchase and hope you will too. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. 4.0 stars for the prices, especially without AK sales tax of any kind. 5.0 stars for the expert service and shoe recommendations. The store itself is clean and very spacious. Not sure if they have WiFi or not, but check em out! Support local! A-

Fred Raymond, the owner, runs a one man operation, and is a perfect example of why one should always shop local whenever possible (there was even a news article featuring him and his story/business in the local paper last year). He's an "old-timer" with a wealth of knowledge, and is quick to give personalized advice about the products he sells without being pushy. Not to mention that he's a retired professional bike racer and skier, and his enthusiasm for both sports is contagious. Both my husband and I have bought skis from Fred before, and in each case after shopping around town (and even online), his prices were the lowest for brand name, high quality skis, and we got exactly what we wanted in terms of product fit and quality (all of the skis sold here come with a 2 year warranty!). He also throws in free waxing, and gives a variety of discounts to make it an overall really great deal. On top of that, he sponsors free wax clinics and is active in promoting the local ski/skijor clubs and races, so you know he really does this for the love of the sport and not merely to make money. One note, don't let the industrial part of town or the building where his shop is located throw you off. The reason he can stay in business and have such great deals is that the location allows him to keep overhead low, so if you find yourself driving over train tracks and passing retired train cars, yes, you've come to the right place, and you're almost there!

For those of you unfamiliar with Fred Meyer, the set up is similar to Wal Mart in which you have your grocery side and then the side that sells items you would expect to find in a department store (clothes, books, outdoor sporting equipment, kitchen wares, etc). But I prefer shopping at Fred Meyer and think the atmosphere is just different from Wal Mart. Anyways, my husband and I ended up shopping at this particular location twice while staying in Fairbanks, to stock up on groceries. Fred Meyer is part of the Kroger family and so if you have a loyalty card with this market chain, you can provide the phone number you used to sign up for that, at check out to get additional savings. Convenient location with plenty of parking. The store was clean and I appreciated the disinfectant wipes inside, by the front entrance so that I could wipe my cart down. If I was a local, I would shop here regularly.
