Kmart
404 North Marine Drive, Tamuning, 96913, Guam

Foot Locker

• Racks of sportswear and walls upon walls of shoes for men, women, and kids are available at Foot Locker. Though the price is very comparable to Philippine prices (depending on the exchange rate), Foot Locker usually has more designs, stocks, and sizes.
• Catch the sale corner where they stack boxes of previous seasons’ shoes or last size pairs (usually Nike and Adidas). I haven’t seen anything above $65.
• You can apply for a membership at Foot Locker even if you’re a tourist, just as long as you have a local Guam number. Prepaid sim cards are available for purchase in Guam.
