The person on the phone was extremely helpful, saying he only had 2 left. My wife hurried over, the guy knew her immediately and had even held the jerseys for her.

Prior to Christmas, ran into Sports Nation (at Tysons Corner) on a whim and was in a huge rush…read more Wanted to get a family member (born in Washington, DC and had moved to Dallas, Texas) something either Commanders, Nationals, Capitals, etc. as he is a rapid fan for each of these teams. Hank came to the rescue! He led me to some items that were best sellers and sold out, quickly, and explained why my relative would love them. He checked all the boxes (something I could either mail or carry in a suit case, non-breakable, etc.) and I felt great with the purchase and confident the family member would love everything - and he did! Hank, you are the real deal, greatly appreciated, and the reason why I will continue being a Sport Nation customer.

My husband is a current Capt in the USMC. It's unbelievable that an American establishment like Dick's Sporting Goods could operate so shady. They wasted our time, had poor service and an untrained staff! We are appalled. Lost our business completely! And we will be spreading the word to our fellow marines as well! Happy Veterans Day!

I took my husband's lead (he is an avid runner, I am not) and went to VA Runner. Their staff is highly trained and will do a thorough analysis of your gait, pressure points, arch and more to make sure they recommend the right shoe. The moment I put on the Asics they picked for me the pain went away completely. Highly Recommended.

I have been going to this running store for two years now and the staff has always been friendly…read moreand has always helped me find the right shoes. They also have a good selection of spikes for track and cross country athletes as well. Back then, they did offer a discount for high school students but I believe they no longer do this, which is unfortunate; however, it does not hinder the quality customer service and welcoming environment this running store brings to the area. I wish I lived in Fredericksburg so that I could do all of their running events that I see on Facebook. Overall, I would recommend this store to any runner, beginner or expert, to get fitted for a pair of shoes at this store.

He patiently picked out shoes that are known to support the foot and protect one from developing PF. He watched me walk with each pain of shoes. I left with a pair of shoes I think will make such a difference with this problem. I have been going here for years because of the attentive, kind and knowledgeable staff. They stand by their products and offer such an individual experience. Wonderful history of caring for people in the best possible way.

I suffer from occasional plantar fasciitis, and flat soles, among other things. Nathaniel watched me walk back and forth several times. He then selected several brands of walking/running shoes. He watched me walk in each shoe. He wasn't satisfied that he solved my pronating issue so he pulled out another brand. Once I selected my brand, he pulled out all the colors that I could select in that shoe. He took so much time with me. He was very patient. As I looked around, I noticed that the other sales people also seemed to take great care of their customers. I ended up buying a brand I had never tried and I love them. I highly recommend this store.

While I was trying on clothing, one of the staff remained close in case I needed other sizes. I like that the owner does try on videos on social media which is very helpful and is what brought me into the shop. Prices are comparable to the other shops on Davis, a little high but what you'd expect for a boutique. A great addition to Davis Street. Stop in if you're visiting downtown!
