Confidence
The site represents a well-established physical business located at Kissamou 60 in Chania, Greece. Our research confirmed its official registration in the Greek business registry (Γ.Ε.ΜΗ.) and its status as an authorized dealer for premium brands like On Running. While two security engines, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker and Gridinsoft, flagged the domain as suspicious, these appear to be false positives likely triggered by standard e-commerce urgency tactics like countdown timers. The domain has been active since 2015, which is a strong indicator of stability. Furthermore, local directory listings and positive social media feedback support its reputation as a genuine retailer.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The website functions as a standard e-commerce platform for athletic gear, specifically focusing on brands like On, ASICS, and Brooks. It features detailed product descriptions, Greek and English language support, and standard retail policies for returns and shipping.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted on a stable IP address with no history of abuse reports. It uses a valid SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt to secure transactions. The technical setup is consistent with a professional small-to-medium retail operation.

Domain History

The domain was first registered in April 2015, giving it over nine years of history. This longevity is a significant positive signal, as fraudulent 'fake shops' typically use domains that are only a few weeks or months old.

Web Reputation

Independent research shows a strong local reputation in Greece. The business is listed in major local directories and maintains a Facebook presence with a high recommendation rate. There are no credible reports of fraud or non-delivery associated with this domain.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on runninglovers.gr and not a lookalike like r-unninglovers.gr.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.
