MT Intelligence
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.

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.
