Potomac River Running

This store has won our loyalty. My wife purchased a pair of shoes that were causing blisters. We returned to the store and the staff helped determine what was causing the blisters with such professional skill and care. After identifying the root cause they then helped my wife quickly find a better fitting shoe for an exchange that no longer causes pain. The service has always been exceptional!

I went into this store in May and Todd absolutely changed my life. I started walking 4-6 times per week in March for 20 minutes per day and by May had worked my way up to 45 minutes. However, I have a history of plantar fasciitis and those walks and recovery were becoming very painful. I was initially intimidated going into a store with "running" in the title since I am a walker, but I am so happy that I did (and wish I had gone sooner). Todd spent over an hour with me, trying on at least 4 different sneakers and various insole combinations to find the right fit. The change in my walks and pain level was immediate. I had gone to another boutique-type shoe store in nova that carries comfortable shoes but the service at PRR, both time spent and knowledge was leaps and bounds above (at least if you are looking for a sneaker). Since purchasing the shoes and insoles Todd recommended 2 months ago, I increased my walks to 75 minutes and worn the shoes/insoles on a couple vacations where I had 20,000+ step days and my feet and rest of my body feel great. I have no doubt I would not have been able to sustain this amount of activity with the previous sneakers and insoles I was using. Interestingly, I was actually wearing the same brand shoes AND insoles before, just the completely wrong models for my feet/body/activity. So thankful for Todd's patience and assistance and PRR's service.

Fantastic experience being fitted here for a new pair of running shoes! Jessica was friendly, unbiased, and super knowledgeable about running and all things sneakers. She was so helpful when guiding me towards a new shoe. Their staff were all very nice and not pushy at all - it’s a very supportive environment to try out new shoes. Lovely location with all the latest high tech tools for evaluating your size and run so they can best fit your needs!
