Potomac River Running

"Marcus was an amazing salesman. He helped me make sure I got the shoe that best suited my arch and heal, given that my go-to shoe and brand were out of commission. He was personable and kind, and I’m thankful for his patience while I picked out my shoes"

"I took up running during COVID and have enjoyed it since. I always stuck with my trusty Nike Pegasus, a good shoe for sure. I finally got around to going to Potomac River Running to get fitted and look at some different shoe options. I ended up going to the Leesburg store and the experience could not have been better. Yosselyn welcomed me to the store and took me through the complete fitting process. The process is very thorough, measuring all aspects of your foot, strike pattern and even taking a short video of a run on the in-store treadmill to look at a slow motion of my running gait. Based on the results Yosselyn proceeded to show me no less than 7 different shoe options, encouraging me to take a run outside or on the treadmill to get a feel for the shoe. After numerous runs on the treadmill I landed on the Brooks Ghost 15. Yosselyn was incredibly knowledgeable and thorough, and there was never any pressure to buy shoes there, she was completely focused on finding the right shoe for me. "The shoes will talk to you" was her line, and she was right. I did end up buying the Brooks there, how could I not after such a great experience, and the price was the same as everywhere else. Thank you Yosselyn."

"Brad helped me today. Good service! Good shoes. Second time in the store. Second time spending hundreds of dollars to have comfortable feet. Worth it. Get in here!"

"We love our friends at Potomac Running. They are so helpful in getting you into the right shoe. The staff are all runners or walkers so they know the basic needs of their customers. They are patient and don’t push you in a direction you don’t want to go. They are community minded as well with events and programs for everyone. They have the most current versions of the brands they carry which is pretty expansive compared to the big sports store down the street. I never leave dissatisfied."
