Even though it is a paid Google Ad link and has a valid https cert, it is a criminal site trying to steal your money. It looks exactly like the .com site but all the prices were too good to be true so I contacted Innovate via their .com/ site and they responded to tell me the Ireland site is a scam operation they are attempting to get shut down. |
| Pól Ó Murchú | Dec 17 2021, 11:29am | Some good deals there though :-) |
| Conor O'Farrell | Dec 17 2021, 12:55pm | Super! Thanks for the link Richard! ;-) Seriously though, I hope you didn't get stung. |
| Richard Leahy | Dec 17 2021, 2:27pm | Didn't get stung but stupidly had inputted my details (non-financial) before I realised all the items on the site had big discounts |
| Dean Nooney | Dec 17 2021, 2:42pm | 3 weeks ago I paid for 3 pairs of hoka recovery sliders for xmass gifts on what looked like a light site hoka ireland, just found out I was scammed and the discount wasn't massive, pretty muck what they are on sale for now so please beware |
| Dean Nooney | Dec 17 2021, 2:43pm | (Much) |
| Jeff Swords | Dec 17 2021, 4:19pm | No contact details and every word capitalised in their shipping and returns section is enough for the Grammar Police to kick in doors and crack some heads. As to the type of website the fraudsters previously hosted, or stole the format from... "All Body Piercing Is Dispatched In Clear Plastic Bags And Sealed". A nice spin off with what to do with the extra gpaphene studs maybe? |
| Ray Lonergan | Jan 20 2022, 9:02pm | Looks like there may be another possible fake Inov8 website called inov-8ireland.com. It looks convincing but prices too good to be true. |
| David Behan | May 27 2024, 11:56am | Looks like another fake Inov page has been set up. www.inov8-ireland.com/ |
| Alan Kennedy | May 27 2024, 12:22pm | I got stung on a similar fake Salomon site last year. Very professional looking site but lesson learned :-( |
| Andy Keeling | May 27 2024, 12:43pm | Had the same experience with a sight called Salomon Ireland. |
| Adrian Clinton | Oct 7 2024, 10:28am | Just a word of caution the fake inov8ireland.com is still on the go. Only came across this forum thread after I'd been suckered, not expecting my delivery any time soon! Apart from the super duper prices seems pretty much identical to the original legit site and came up with a standard Google search, in hindsight was a few red flags if I had been more vigilant. Too late for me but hopefully nobody else will be caught out |
| Seb Szm | Oct 12 2024, 8:02pm | Hi, I looking to get a pair of Inov-8 shoes, can any one recommend shop in Dublin or around? I tried run-logic and run hub, but no joy. I have a pair of mudclaw that I would like to replace with something similar. bit worried to buy online |
| Adrian Clinton | Oct 13 2024, 7:22am | Hi Seb, not sure about shops but the official Inov8.com website is still ok. The Inov8-Ireland.com is the one to avoid |
| Seb Szm | Oct 13 2024, 11:55am | Thanks Richard. I will use official website. Regards |
| Gerard Down | Nov 26 2024, 3:11pm | I tried to buy a jacked from an 2024 inov8-ireland.com. and after getting suspicous because of an emai I had received, I contacted vaus credit card and it looks like I was scammed - amount was 83 euros so visa told me i must wait 15 days to see if anything is delivered - |
| Adrian Clinton | Nov 26 2024, 5:58pm | Similar experience myself. I did get my money back though. Also had to wait 15 days to confirm no delivery. Contacted my bank again and sent them on any info I had, emails etc. Took a few weeks but did get a full refund |
| Seb Szm | Nov 27 2024, 8:37am | I would recommend Sports Room in Wicklow for Inov8 they stock Inov8 and do online sale as well. I got there the new Mudtalon Speed in wide. Bit of a drive for me from Dublin but both staff and the owner very nice and accommodating. I was only happy with my purchase. I don't like the usual post/return online shenanigans. |
| Gerard Down | Nov 28 2024, 9:48pm | I am in Cork Seb. My son did buy an Inov 8 jacket for me 2 or 3 three years ago, so I guess it didnt even occur to me there might be a fake Inov 8 site. Strange that is can still be up on Google though |
| SEAMUS FITZGERALD | Nov 29 2024, 4:45pm | I have used https://www.sportsshoes.com/ without issue. I ordered on Sunday and the shoes were delivered on the Friday. It helped that I was reordering the same Innov Roclite G275. But you can't beat fitting for size in the shop if that is possible. |
