I have gone to PR run at Reston Town Center for my shoes fitting before 5K training starts, ordered recommended shoes and have been very happy with their selections and advices. Went back again to order trail runners before my AZ hiking trip, again they deliver within a few days. Highly recommended!

I had a very good experience at this place. Jeanette took special attention to my problem after the scanning and walking the treadmill. She brought me the shoes that would fit me and I tried them without any pressure. The process was very neat and the assistance priceless. Good luck!
