Great customer service. The staff was attentive and extremely knowledgeable. Tell Victoria I really appreciated the effort she put into helping me find the right shoe!

Nice shop. Terrible hours. Noon open on Sunday is way too late. It is 1950. I run (up early), work, have kids. Just went by at 1130 to see shop still closed. Placed my order on Amazon instead and arrives tomorrow. Not worth waiting half hour or coming back the three miles.

Chris helped me find the perfect sneaker and was a huge help! Great store and service. Highly recommend going there.

Just purchased my first hopefully forever brand Brooks here. After years of wearing Nike Skylux, I was not exciting about finding another shoe after Nike discontinued my favorite shoe. Upon walking in, Kara was AMAZING. She initially bought out 3 different brands and styles for me to try while explaining each one. I wasnt completely sold on either and she said i can tell youre not in-love with either of these let me go get some more options. She then came back with 3 more. All while having a great, bubbly personality. I love love loved her customer service. Please go by and see Kara (i hope Im spelling that correctly) for all your shoe options. I will DEFINITELY be returning to this location.

The staff was super helpful! Best experience I’ve ever had buying shoes. They took the time to help me with a specific issue and try different shoes to find the best one for me! I highly recommend checking this shop out!

My husband and I love this location. Staff are patient and easy to talk to.

If you want to make sure that you have the right running shoes for your feet and your gait, do not skip this store. Incredibly knowledgeable staff with superb customer service!

Personal service from knowledgeable staff. They will help you select the right shoe for your needs, and have an amazing service/return policy.The pricing is very reasonable; this store provided excellent value for me.

I work at inpatient wards and walk a lot in the hospital. Recently I need a new pair of shoes since my old shoes are worn out. I firstly stopped by confront one shoes and bought a pair of danskos. However I suffered a knee pain after wearing danskos. Then I happened to stop by this store. I told them About my job, I needed more cushion and ample toe box. The staff listened to my story and recommended me couple of pairs of running shoes to try on. Brooks, Acis, new balance and Hoka. The staff is very professional and attentive. I tried on different shoes back and forth couple of times. And finally decided to buy The hoka bondi. And we also bought another pair for my husband too! The best part about this store is the fantastic return policy compared with comfort one shoes. We can run with the shoes outdoors several times, and if we find out anything uncomfortable, we can return them for refund within 30 days!!! We will definitely come back to this store in the future!!

Great customer service. Appropriate safety measures implemented for covid. Nice selection of merchandise.

Excellent running supply store -- had information about local running groups and races as well as all the running supplies I needed to address gaps in what I personally had -- larger water bottles, lights to make me visible for evening jogs, running socks, etc. Prices were reasonable

I was really pleased with the service at Pacers. It has been so long since I have had someone measure my feet and pick out proper shoes for my needs. I am loving the shoes and will return when I need a new pair.

Love it, as soon I saw the place I fall in love about the shoes they have in the store, the whole crew was beyond what I expected, They are very professional and help me to get the right shoes for me and my family. Thank you. I’ll come back soon.

Went for my first run after being fitted for a new pair of brooks and I had zero pain in my knees or back. Great shop.

The shoes are great. I have been buying my running shoes here since 2004. I have never had sore feet after running my 43 marathons. I would recommend getting your shoes at Pacers. The customer service is great and they know what they are doing.

I went here today in desperate need of shoes to help with my shin splints. Needless today, the associate named Esther went above and beyond and helped me so much! She pulled multiple pairs of shoes for me to try, watched me run in them to analyze my form and I was so impressed with the service! I can’t express how relieved I am to have gotten the help I needed and will definitely recommend Pacers to any of my friends who need a good pair of shoes!

If you want the right running shoes for you cadence then Paces is the place to go. On top of that, their staff are subject matter experts on all the shoes they carry. I didnt purchase anything on my visit. Although I really wanted to. With the staffs help I was able to narrow down my decision to two shoes. The brooks adrenaline or the brooks hyperion tempo! I was also told to look at the brooks adrenaline gts. Just an overall amazing experience!!!

Very good customer service. Individual assets of shoe type best for you. Quality tennis shoes.

A great place to shop. The employees are experienced runners and take time to match your running distance and terrain with a shoe that has the perfect fit and function.

Ordered items through the online option and they were ready for pick-up on the next day. The entire process was fast, super easy and convenient. Enjoying my new Hoka One One Mach 4s and Feeture socks. Who doesn’t love new socks!?

Helpful staff helped me find right insoles for my sneakers.

My wife and I had a great visit to the store. Within a few minutes we were sitting down and going through our needs with our salesman, Joe. He listened and asked questions to help determine the best shoes for our needs. He provided a good of information to help us select the optimal shoes. We were both very happy with the customer service and the excellent selection. We would both strongly recommend Pacers Running.

Victoria really improved my quality of life when she helped me find the right shoes. A few months walking on cobblestones with elevation changes, a big difference from the flat, sand walking paths I was used to in Houston, was taking a painful toll on my hip flexors and legs. After just a couple of days wearing the new support in these shoes has helped a lot. So great to find someone knowledgeable to help me!

I have shopped at Pacers for almost 20 years. They are knowledgable, friendly, and efficient. Its a pleasure shopping there.

Very attentive and paid attention to detail

Not the same Pacers nor customer service like I’m used to. She did not tell me anything about the three brands I chose to tried on today. I asked about a new brand I did not recognize, she gave me the name and no other information regarding the shoes. It’s so disappointing when I used to get excellent customer service from previous personnel by telling me the difference in each brand, checking my gait and made recommendations. I will not be going back to this particular store anytime soon.

The staff are wonderful to work with, highly knowledgeable and the selection is great! Ive purchased three pair of shoes, had to exchange one pair after about two weeks of wearing them in and they accepted and were incredibly helpful in picking my new pair, which helped tremendously!

Great store and great customer service. They have a decent variety of sneakers as well as other gear for working out. Andrea helped me and was great!

Outstanding and incredibly kind customer service. Highly recommend!

Great place! Went in and within 10-15 minutes. Joe was such a great help and got shoes easily that fit and fixed the shoe problems. 20/10 would get new shoes again.

Service was great. But I made the wrong selection on the shoe I purchased. Ill be back soon to make the right choice.

I purchased two pairs of running shoes here today. They had great service and great selection. I thought the prices were excellent. The person who did the fitting did a great job

Great service. Great shoes.

Great customer service, perfect location and staff very friendly. Also they listen about your necessities and help you with suggestions or advices to achieve your requirements!

Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Great social distancing policies that are actually adhered to. All around an excellent experience.

Staff was responsive, prices fit the quality and parking wasnt too insane because it was a holiday weekend. The Pacers Running in DC (Navy Yard) was very helpful and professional. I could see myself visiting here in the next six months. I would recommend both locations. Good luck finding parking by the Navy Yard location though!

Cant say enough great things about the store and the staff. Every time I go in, Im immediately helped by friendly and incredibly knowledge people and its a joy to try out and buy new running shoes with them. They also do community fun runs and give back to the community regularly.

I bought my first pair of Hoka a year ago And I love it, our family always shop here and we have been very happy about it

Excellent customer service - I bought a pair of Hokas that just didnt fit quite right. I did a virtual fitting session due to the Covid outbreak, which was fine, but theres only so much someone can tell about you over a webcam. The shoes were great, but just not wide enough and gave me blisters. I tried returning them, but wasnt able to because I had thrown out the box and lost the receipt. Kara, the manager, worked with me to make an exception given the circumstances.I highly recommend buying from this store. All too often businesses place their bottom line before customer satisfaction. Alexandria Pacers did right by me and I am very grateful. I will definitely go through them for shoe recommendations and purchases once theyre able to open their doors fully.

I only came here to pick up packet for PNC Classic 10 miler. VA Runners is my preferred store for running shoes and gear.

Exceptional store, with knowledgeable and helpful staff. Took my teen CC runner in for legitimate trail shoes, and walked out with his perfect fit and TONS of information. Any store willing to spend over an hour with a single customer speaks volumes to their dedication and desire to make their buyers happy.We cannot possibly thank them enough!Well be back, season after season.

I would buy a plane ticket to come buy my shoes here. Everyone there is super friendly and helpful. My experience there is part of the reason why I got into running more seriously.

My wife and I came here to look at shoes. The staff were incredibly friendly and spent twenty minutes or so helping us find the right shoes. On top of that they helped us get connected with running groups and information. I highly recommend coming here especially if you desire help or information about the right running shoes.

Love this Pacers! Ive been getting my running shoes and gear from here for a few years now and then staff is always great. Went in here today, and Breanna was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and patient. Im a long distance runner who has flat feet and suffers from tendonosis, and she knew exactly what shoes would work for me, being a runner herself.

The staff is very knowledgeable and love getting engaged with the community. I like being able to walk in and pick up my packet for almost every race in the area, even those not organized by Pacers.They will make sure you are fit with the right shoe, and will give you chances to return or exchange the shoe if it is not the one for you. The stores prices are also very reasonable and competitive, they do not artificially inflate the price of their shoes just because you are in store versus online.

Today 2:23 pm I entered Pacers looking for a phone case for my daughter.No one there offered to assist me two gentlemen came in after I came both were asked if they could be helped. The name on my receipt says Josh Hootstein rang up the sale of the phone case after he offered assistance to the man that came in after I came in I asked him if I was invisible to him “ I saw you were looking “. Customer service was the worst people of color should shop elsewhere. The way this work is first come first serve! The owner of this establishment reached out to me less than an hour after my review. I commend him for this, and that is why I changed my review from one star to a three star.

Awesome place for running shoes and gear. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They offer a good selection of high end running shoes that fit any reasonable budget. I highly recommend this store if youre in the market for new running shoes.

Excellent customer service! Knowledgeable sales staff, Jeremy and Dillon were two of the staff who assisted us in buying the perfect running shoes. Very clean fresh store, and easy to get in and out from the street -parking. Thank you guys!

Helped me exchange a shoe a bought a few weeks ago and helped me find another one that fit my needs better. Great experience.

Good service, welcoming staff. Emily was friendly and patient in helping me choose my new shoes (which I love!). She measured my foot and observed my stride. It turns out I have been wearing shoes a half-size too big for several years now. As an added bonus, the shoes I purchased were around $135, which was a little cheaper than I expected; my favorite New Balance models will usually run around $150 a pair. It is more expensive than going to a generic shoe store, but if you are a serious runner and/or have specialized needs for shoes, then I recommend a trip to Pacers.

This place has pretty good customer service, but if you want excellent customer service work with Brandon. He was extremely knowledgeable and courteous. Also, I liked that he didnt try to pressure you into buying anything. He gave his opinion, but didnt overly hype up anything.

Amazing neighborhood running store! The best.

The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. Its great to have this resource in the neighborhood.

I am not a big runner, but always rely on Pacers to set me up with a new pair for over 10 years. Sales associates are always very helpful and knowledgeable.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this store! I always make it a priority to visit when Im in the DC area. Consistent quality customer service and I appreciate that they stand behind the quality of their products.

Had a great experience here. They had an incredible sale on the retiring shoe models and their store has a good layout. Jordan and the rest of the staff treated us really well and got us into the correct shoe while being friendly.They also organize races around the area that I have enjoyed previously.

LOVE this store! The staff is awesome - super helpful, knowledgable and patient. They always have a great selection of products available, and the store is clean and well organized.Pacers also does a lot to foster a great running community in the area, including free group runs every day of the week, fun runs, and local races. Truly an asset to the community.Shout out to Megan for being really legit and patient while I tried on 18 pairs of shoes. You rock!

I love how they take the time out to see what shoe is best for you. Simply based on how you walk.

Really helpful and clean store.

Great customer service. Provided lots of options. Awesome experience.

Twice now I have come here and said I know nothing about shoes, help and these people have been awesome. I am terrible with names, but a very nice girl sat with me for quite a while to help me find a shoe that I liked, despite me having no idea what i wanted. I also love that this place is very dog friendly, and lets me bring my foster while i try on shoes.

This is a definite must go to store for any running gear. I love the selection, and the staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and will help get you fitted for your next run. Highly recommend going to this location.

Best place for shoes in town. Ive gotten almost all my running shoes from here. The service is great, o would recommend.

Excellent shop for running shoes and accessories. The shop trains its staff to sell the right product to its customers. The store has a treadmill for customer to try the shoes before buying them.I am a repeat customer of the store and I have always left satisfied by the customer service and the multiple variety of running shoe brands and styles.

Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They take their time with you and never make you feel rushed. They will work with you for an hour to get you into the right pair of shoes if necessary. Plus their rewards program is great. I wouldnt shop anywhere else for running shoes.

Staff is knowledgeable, the store has unique brands and well known ones, and a variety of sizes.

Really kind people. Good service! I would rate a 10 if I could!

Service is awesome. Knowledgeable staff. Customers always put first. Only place where me and my family get our running gear.

Love the selection... I do it for the fashion because Im definitely not a marathon runner...but I look like 1

I initially went to pick up my race packet for the Parkway Classic, but ended up buying a pair of stability running shoes that are tailored for my narrow feet. Since the store doesnt really carry narrow shoes, they had to order them in. A huge help! Now I have a pair of quality running shoes that are perfect for me. Thank you for the excellent customer service!

Nice place. Select shoes and running attire.

Fantastic service. Got a deal on shoes that were $120 for $60. Good advice if youre new to running.

Staff knows what they are doing and they carry real running shoes. They are not over priced at all but do carry brands that actually make good running shoes. This is one f the only places I buy running shoes.

Really, the staff is kind of put-off. Maybe thats the idea. Im a pretty serious runner but Ive never felt comfortable there and Ive patronized a lot of running stores over the years. I can do as well getting my running shoes online, although I definitely prefer having a local fitting session. Considering that parking is not convenient, and they dont seem to have many sales, I feel I am better off at other local running stores.

They know there shoes!!! look at my running form, and pick out 6 running shoes for my form and after the 3rd shoe I knew it was for me!!! great customer service and will do business for running gear.01/2019 6 years later and still top notch.

Best customer service around! I’m definitely willing to pay a little extra to find the right running shoe for my duck-paddle like feet!

Great staff that ensures you have a great shoe. No matter your experience level, theyll make sure you feel welcome.

Great staff that knows a lot about what shoes you need for the type of feet you have. Hosts lots of running events and supports a great community.

Great little running store with a very friendly and helpful staff.

Great service! Highly recommend!

Great running store in Old Town. Staff did a great job finding size if a sale/closeout item.

Fantastic place! Great referral from my doctor.

Great customer service and fantastic shoe selection.

I bought my last two pairs of shoes here decent prices. Very large selection for both men and women

Helpful with all questions and helped understand the basics for proper footwear to a new runner

Preparing for my first race and they help choose the shoe that best matches my running style.

As soon as you walk through the door, a staff member smiles at you and asks if you need help. A great store that will help you find what you need and provides advice no matter what race you are focusing on.

I came in as a new runner with leg pain two months ago. Since then, I have gone through four different pairs of running shoes trying to find the right ones. Each time I come in, someone is there to help me find new ones and assure me that there is no reason to feel guilty about returning yet another pair of shoes. Everyone that works there is so kind and helpful - they really do want to help you find a shoe that is best for your feet. I was a problem child case because each shoe presented a different issue during my runs (through no fault of the employees), but the 4th time is a charm! They were patient enough to spend the hour-ish needed each time I came in to find the right one. It really makes a huge difference to have the right shoe and their return policy really makes that achievable. Such a great place and such great staff!

Good running store with highly qualified employees who will make sure that you get the right shoe.

Very knowledgeable staff and they carry a wide range of running shoes, clothes, gear, and nutrition products.

Swift informative experience in well spaced store

I recently visited the Alexandria store and could not find the pair I wanted for my husband for Christmas. They had a similar pair sent over from another store for me. I was to pick them up the day before Christmas Eve and there was a bit of a mixup on when they were supposed to be arriving which kept me waiting for a few minutes. When they realized that it might take a bit longer for them to get there, one of the managers, Ellen, offered me a discount on the shoes. That was amazing, but what was even better was that she offered to bring them to my house after the store closed so I wouldnt have to wait. Once they arrived to the store, she even took a picture of them and texted them to me to make sure they were what I wanted! She delivered them herself to my front door that evening. Very few businesses would go this far for a customer, I am so impressed. Fantastic customer service!

No hassle in returning shoes.

Really friendly and helpful staff. They will find the perfect shoe for you.

Very bad customer service. There are so many options in the Virginia area to pick up running shoes. I went to this place 2 times and could not buy anything. Tonight I got this rude girl and I just walked away... She was rude and should not be working with customer service. Besides that, the selection was poor.

Staff was friendly and helpful.

This place is great. Friendly staff that are more than willing to help you out finding the perfect sneaker.

Great customer support // help you find the right shoe based on your running.

Great running store, super friendly & helpful staff, nice selection!

Great people great product.
