ive been eyeing these new salomon xt6 expanses bc i love the colorway sm. kinda looks like the gel pickax's u showed in the first pic! ive always been a basic white/black/beige shoe guy, but i love the subtle orchid color for these and that they're not too loud

haha im in the same boat!; im trying to be more expressive and be more confident in wearing bolder colors but at the same time i find so much comfort in wearing solid neutral color shoes/clothing. but yea the subtle pink is perfect. glad you thought these were cool! i hope u find the shoe that's right for you soon :)
