SalomonMens X Ultra 4 GTX Hiking Footwear

The media could not be loaded. My wife warned me about this and now I'm paying the price for not listening to her. I paid 14000 INR for these Salomon hiking shoes. They arrived in a box that looked legit. They were a little shiny but I thought nothing of it. But after two weeks, the shoes are still very stiff in the forefoot. I looked inside the shoes for Salomon stamps and unsurprisingly, there were none. I can confidently say that these are not original Salomon shoes. I'm outraged because I spent souvh for the original.
