“Phenomenal shop, just go. If you know know the value of a good fly shop, you’ll quickly realize this is a great one. If you don’t, you’ll quickly understand why this beats online retailers any day of the week. I used to work in a fly shop and I learned a ton. Service is clearly at the heart of this business. Will stop by every chance I get.Just go!!! Also their website is an incredible resource — check it out.”
“The only tennis store in the DMV I trust. They have it all, from the latest racquets, to expert stringers, and all of your necessary accessories. Above all, Jose and his team are customer oriented. The experience walking into tennis zone always feels personalized, fits your schedule and budget, and keeps you wanting to continue the relationship.”
“Picked up a sweet glove at the Arlington Little League Opening Day Ceremonies - but wasn't yet able to use it as I'm recovering from an injury. Moving around better now and began to break in my glove and found a defect. Eric went out of his way to help me out. Told me to email him some photos to save a trip out to him. Confirmed with me that he received them. Updated me a couple hours later that he sent them to the glove rep and was waiting to hear back. Got back to me same night that they were going to credit him for the glove and he had another waiting for me at the store. Probably some of the best follow up/follow-through customer service I've had in quite a long time. Thanks, Eric!”
“I visit the Road Runner Sports in Arlington, VA to replace my Brooks shoes, which were worn down completely. Mini, Travis and Kimberly (Fit Experts) greeted me with a friendly smile, professionalism, expertise and extremely prompt amazing service! They took the time with passion to educate me on how to choose the right fit and so many other aspects of excellent foot health. They also helped me come to a conclusion that the Glycerin 21's Brooks (at a great value price) are the most comfortable for my feet and also happens to be my favorite shoes ever. Their dedication to excellent customer education and service is second to none and reflects great credit upon themselves and the Road Runner Sports brand! They are the epitome of excellence and true professionalism! My overall rating undoubtedly is 5 stars without hesitating. Mini, Travis and Kimberly (Fit Experts) all deserve the biggest raises and recognition for their amazing friendly service and professionalism. Thanks Road Runner Sports for hiring these jewels of employees to represent your magnificent brand, who will undoubtedly cause it to flourish consistently!”
“Had a wonderful experience working with Pat here today. She conducted a gait and foot analysis, and tailor selected shoes for me to try on. I am relatively new to running and wasn’t quite sure what I was looking for — Pat did a fabulous job helping me identify what style of shoe would be best for me. She gave me her undivided care and attention, and I left with a wonderful pair of shoes. I just did my first test run and am very happy with the result. I definitely recommend this store to any runner looking for guidance and expertise.”
“Opened up my studio with my business partner. Ed and Mike made sure we had our equipment and couldn’t ask for better quality. Thanks gentlemen. A Better U Health Club LLC thanks you ?”
“Just left the shop and I must say customer services was awesome! The young man that help me was very knowledgeable and was awesome to work with. I highly recommend any one to go to get a bowl have it cleaned or shoes that is a shop I plan to continue to visit awesome awesome!!!!!!??”
“Merrifield Golf is the perfect golf store. They have great products and even better customer service. I recently got fitted and the experience was great! When I came to pick up my clubs thr owner let me swing on their simulator and even gave me tips. I come all the way from Maryland but it was well worth the drive. If you ever need anything golf related, come here.”
“Customer service was the best I've seen in a very long time. Every ody is friendly and personable. Cameron is a kind and knowledgeable salesman who isn't to pushy when trying to steer you towards the right bike.”
“Chris was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and helpful as we searched for a pair of running shoes that suited us. Working with Chris was a pleasure as we tried on numerous different pairs. He patiently assisted us until we found a pair of running shoes that we were completely satisfied with. I will enthusiastically recommend Potomac River Running Shoes to all my friends and family due to the exceptional service provided by Chris!”

8203 Watson St, McLean“Went in for a walk-in fitting with intentions to gain a little more knowledge as to what clubs to get. Being new to golf, I had no idea what to expect. I was greeted by the master fitter John and I could not have imagined a more ideal experience. My interaction with John far exceeded what I considered to be a “good customer service” interaction, as it was much more than that. John gave me genuine advice and didn’t make a point to sell me on anything. He explained to me what to look for in clubs as a beginner golfer, showed me in-store options as to what he would recommend, a list of irons to go home and research, and even a business card in case I stumbled upon any questions. John provided hands down the best customer service I have ever experienced, and I look forward to returning in the future once I get a bit more advanced in my playing.”
“Chad was awesome. Guided me through all the options to consider when starting to increase your mileage per run. Had me test out various different fits, cushions, and supports. Shopping local was 1000% worth it here. Ask for Chad when coming in.”

4238 Wilson Blvd Ste. 1235, Arlington“Amazing customer service experience with Christian. He was professional, attentive, friendly, and let me take my time. He is extremely knowledgeable on each type of shoe and insole, answering all my questions in detail. He wanted to find the best fit for me as much as I did! Best shoe purchase experience I’ve ever had.”
“I'd give more stars if I could. I've been at this place to buy ski boots, poles, a gravel bike, and to get a bike repaired. Everything about each experience was fantastic. They fixed my gf's old bike for only about $100 even though it needed a lot of work. Also I think they price-matched my gravel bike to online vendors even though I didn't ask for a price match. I would highly recommend Sun & Ski sports and will I definitely go there for any future needs.”
“I had a phenomenal experience and the staff were so helpful in determining what shoes be suit me. There was a lot of trail and error with trying to find the right shows with insoles to match my walking patterns. I would definitely recommend going to this place to anyone that have needs for shoes that will feel comfortable on there feet and all the activities that they do.”
“I am a 'buy online' first guy but I have bought shin guards and cleats for my kid here because the prices were actually slightly less than Amazon and Dick's for the same item. On top of that, they are next to the Trader Joe's and Whole Foods I always go to, they have my kids' club team gear, and the guys who worked there actually recommended AGAINST buying a more expensive cleat for my kid based on her age and playing level.”
“Lacrosse unlimited is amazing. I go there every time I need my stick restrung. Their staff is so nice and so knowledgeable about the sport. I even once broke my stick the day before a game and needed a new one asap. We went there and got a new stick stung overnight right in time for my game. Awesome experience here definitely hit it up if your lacrosse player!”

1301 King St, Alexandria“Walked in here because I wore Timbs before my girlfriend told me she wanted to the museums. Luckily Pacers was en route and I needed another pair of runners. The guy who helped me was super knowledgeable. I stood on a mat to determine how my weight was distributed and he watched me walk #noddiddy. After about 20 mins I had tried on maybe 5-6 different pairs, made my final selection and was off!These have become my favorite pair of sneaker whether I’m walking the dog or going for a run.Thanks Pacers!!!”

2104 14th St NW, Washington“Nick was the most helpful, knowledge, and respectful sales person I’ve encountered! He was able to juggle several customers while still giving each one the care and attention needed for a successful visit. He definitely deserves a raise for his hard work and ability to aid the productivity of the store!”
“Chad helped us today and made my experience super easy! I came in asking for advice about flat feet and he worked with me to find the most supportive and comfortable pair. Super helpful and awesome experience!”
“I’ve bought 3 pairs of Aisics from this store-it’s the only walking shoe I wear and the only place I’ve bought them. I buy the Gel-Kayano 29 shoes each time (highly recommended). Simply the most comfortable shoe for serious walkers. I went to this store today with a friend and had the best customer service experience there yet! We were assisted by Kelly. He could not have been more helpful, patient, and simply great to do business with. He made sure we both had every opportunity to find just the right fit. Thanks Kelly! We’ll definitely be back!!”

5408-C Port Royal Rd, Springfield“I recently attended the Open Water Dive course, and really enjoyed the experience. First of all, the well organized shop, nice classroom, and enthusiastic, knowledgeable instructors gave me a great feeling of confidence. There were three instructors for a class of 8 students, so we all got lots of personal attention. There was enough classroom time to discuss the overall diving experience. The rental equipment was well fitted and worked great, the pool facilities were also the best (at a nearby Fairfax County rec center). I highly recommend them if you are interested in diving. And by the way, I'm 73 years old, so if I can do it, so can you!”
“The store is a little small but the gear they carry is quality. I have never run into the problem of not being able to find what I need. It is a bit on the pricy side because they mainly stock higher-end stuff. Finding affordable cleats, in particular, can be a somewhat challenging but I have been able to pick up a pair that my son liked for under $100 when we've shopped there. Given how much he plays and practices, it's important that he has good-fitting cleats, so it's worth spending a little extra. The staff are always nice, professional, and knowledgeable. I'd recommend this place if you are looking for quality equipment and good recommendations.”
“Went in there looking for a good running shoe, and the folks in there helped me out for over an hour, and we did eventually find the right shoe. Super awesome people.”

3104 M St NW, Washington“The Patagonia store in Georgetown, Washington DC is located on M Street in the city’s most popular shopping district for luxury fashion. The store is 2 levels and divided by small sections to showcase different Patagonia product lines. The staff is friendly! The upstairs section features a large sale and clearance area of overstocked and out of season gear..! If you like Patagonia, be sure to stop in.”

“Gary and his team have been doing team gear and swag for ALL my sports teams, not just swim, for years. He is so patient with my changes and really works with us to find exactly what we are looking for.To me, this is the perfect small community business. Thanks Gary for being amazing over all these years. We look forward to continuing to work with your team.”
“This REI is huge, way bigger than I expected based on the small front entrance area! There's so much in here, from shoes and boots, to kayaks and coats and repair services for bikes and more. I came to try on some shoes, and they had the model I wanted in multiple sizes so I was able to get the best fit. I also snagged some comfy sun sweatshirts to use hiking or on the water.”
