Hi, I'm Bastien.

I'm an ultramarathon runner who calls both Montréal and Vancouver home, and I love multi-day adventures. I go through a lot of shoes and gear every year, and I was tired of searching store after store online for gear in my price range.

So I built something to do the searching for me. Then I realized it could help a lot of people.

Running keeps getting more expensive: race entries, travel, gear, shoes. The Gear Fox is my way of helping everyday people enjoy the sport I love so much, whether you run through the hustle and bustle of the city or among the trees.

What it does

Every morning it checks over 100 running shops, most of them Canadian, and shows you only what's on sale in your size. Heart something and you'll get an email if the price drops. There's also a Friday email with the week's best deals for you. It's free.

How I make money

Right now I don't make a cent from it. Every deal goes straight to the store. If I ever add affiliate links (the store pays a small commission when you buy, you pay the same), I'll say so here first. Either way the deals you see are sorted by the discount and your size, never by who pays.

Returns and final sale

You're buying from the store, so their return policy applies. Lots of shops won't take back sale items and some, like The Last Hunt, don't take returns at all. When I know a deal is final sale it says "Final sale" on it, but no label doesn't mean you can return it. Check the store's policy before you buy, especially shoes in a size you haven't tried.

Say hi

Got a question or a store you'd like to see on here? Email me at hello@thegearfox.com, I read everything. I'm also on Instagram at @thegearfox.
