About
Go By Foot! We live by this ethos every day.
Foot Traffic believes equal access to running and walking can empower a community. Read more about how we do it!
Shopping
You talk the talk, you gotta have the gear to walk the walk! Our buyers live and breathe this industry and bring us both leading gear and emerging trends.
Training
Our popular and award-winning events bring excitement and fun to the region while raising tens of thousands of dollars each year to our community.
Racing
From youth programs to adult half marathon training, creating lifelong runners and walkers is our passion and our mission–access to the sport above all else!
Founded in 2000 in the beautiful Alameda district. The neighborhood setting set the stage for our community-based business model that focuses on immersing our employees and our operations directly within the community around us.
Since that time, Foot Traffic has opened 4 more locations serving the communities in Downtown Portland, Sellwood, Cedar Mill, and Vancouver. Foot Traffic’s 5 locations amount to one of the largest locally-owned stores in the Northwest.
Sean Rivers
Foot Traffic Owner
Sean has been operating Foot Traffic since 2004 and, at one point or another, has been involved with every asset of this locally-owned, small business, including: Buying and merchandising, head coach adult and youth programs, establishing and coaching the store’s youth clubs, sweeping the floors, building the fixtures, fitting customers for shoes, and community outreach. The list grows every day.
Sean, grew up in Sandy, OR, attended the University of Alaska Anchorage, and moved back to Portland shortly after. He operates a small alpaca farm just outside of Portland with his wife and three daughters and spends his “free time” cleaning chicken coops, selling organic pasture raised chicken eggs, and getting his goats unstuck from the fence multiple times a week.
