They have been playing with it. Most of proto's that I have seen or heard about are modified versions of other shoes. The only reason they are really interested is that in order to have the OG contract, they need to supply something for every sport as I understand it. I doubt they will be quite as enthusiastic as Adidas and High Tech have been since both of those companies have entered the fencing market volunteering and not as a requirement addendum for a huge $$$ contract.
In short, my opinion is a little biased. If they didn't care enough about fencing to support it with their products before hand, **** em if they get the OG contract. I'll take my business to someone that supported fencing without being bribed (you could try to make the argument that Adidas only has fencing shoes/gear because of the contract, but you would be wrong...) by the hugeness of the overall OG contract.
