Potomac River Running

"Needed to update my sneakers so I dropped by the Potomac River Running store at Ballston Quarter. I was helped by a polite, professional and courteous staff member “Adam.” From the moment I entered the store Adam showed me everything Hoka. If you’re into running this is the store for you. They have walls of sneakers, running socks, running apparel and SO much more. Check out Potomac River Running for all of your athletic training needs."

"So glad I stopped by. Was dealing with tight ankles and calves while jogging. Maddie was super helpful. Got my feet measured and in some properly fitted shoes. Can’t believe how big of a difference it made. I just ran farther than I’ve ran in over 15 years the first time wearing them. It was night and day."

"Running late to work but decided to stop by the place to check it out. I have never been there before. I rarely try new things. Today I was going to buy new shoes. Had basically 15 mins to the Transaction before I had to run to catch my bus to work. The shoes I currently was wearing I were uncomfortable I usually wear 11 but the shoes I had were 12. I stepped into the store and was greeted by Adam. He was polite and listened to what I needed. He got me started by taking a scan of my feet to take measurements. And then got me a pair of basic shoes. They were black and bottoms were blue. It was fine and felt alright like a normal shoe would feel. Got me 2 other pairs to try out. I went with these black ones that I have pictures of. He told me that they have a cushion for people who step walk on their heel first. It felt nice and bouncy to my step which was comfortable. He gave me 12 and a half for more room. There was another test I was interested in which is they have a pressure plate thing to measure your step to help find a good shoe for you but it was not working. I don't know if that machine would have helped me pick out a better shoe but it seemed cool. Good service and nice people. The shoes were pretty pricey, I paid 175 your going to have to have 200 bucks disposable. Your probably getting a lot of value is how I justify the price. I'll think I'll come back to see the other products I missed on. I can't post another review for this store but I'd would give it another 5 stars for their service I had on 12/8/22. Today, I went over to try again with the pressure plate to find out if they would help know more about any products they would recommend. I was helped by Raffiel and we did the same process as before. This time after he we did the pressure plate test I learned more about my feet. More pressure on my right side of my foot because its dominant and learned about how my foot rotates outward. He recommended that I get some insoles. I ended up getting the Curex's dynamic insole supportstp relief & comfort. It was 65 dollars. I normally don't ever buy insoles or wear them but he gave me enough knowledge about insoles that it convinced me that I could use them. Hopefully they are beneficial. I read some posts where it says the place very patient and I definitely see that."

"This is a great store to pick up some new running shoes. The staff are super helpful. They have a treadmill set up to film your stride. This is super helpful to make sure you have the right kind of support in your shoes. The store is located inside of the mall, on the first floor. So, you won't see the store just driving by."

"This urban cool strore is packed with merchandise from floor to ceiling. Most importantly the friendly and helpful staff provided super service and attention, buy giving you time to run on the treadmill or compare. Caroline, an experienced runner, and sales associate offered perfect advise on several aspects of my gait and running posture. No pressure... They offer a great variety of top notch products at fair prices."
