I think this has something to do with a company called Inventel.. if you look at that counterfeit page on the "fake" fp-insoles site it mentions that "Inventel LLC has no tolerance for counterfeiting".
If you Google Inventel it looks to be a company that is supposed to help other companies with marketing and scaling their products. They have some bad Google reviews that claim that they "take successful products and try to rip of their customers with a downgraded version and cut the price in half". This seems to be in line with what's happening to the fp-insoles site..
There also looks to be a court case that was recently opened by Inventel against FP insoles https://dockets.justia.com/docket/new-jersey/njdce/2:2024cv00861/540390
Thank you. I look forward to following this.
That anti-counterfeit statement on the “fake” site really seemed kind of fishy. Especially with the sudden 50% off when it was 30% last week.
And then with the “real” site saying “the new insoles can only be purchased here”… it just further messed with my head thinking: “so which website has the fake knockoffs?”
And. Furthermore: the only shoes you can buy on the “real” site are the Desenczo DG3’s in blue? Is there really no stock at all left of ANY of the other FP shoes??
Something’s up.
Check the bottom of your FP Intercepts: something’s smelly.
What if… what if this Inventel owns the proprietary insole formula used in NASA, etc. and JB owes them big money for the product. And now they had to resort to liquidating whatever stock they could in a fire-sale to recoup losses?
Or what if, all the remaining stock JB owes money on, and the company that produced it has to resort to stealing a website to sell off whatever they can to get recouped.
Ignoring those conspiracy theories, I’m very interested to see where this ends up. And I really hope it’s not what I just dreamt up, because I’d really like to hear something positive these days…
