    i grew up in Dallas, but that was 20 years ago, and masculine men did not wear sandals, that was considered gay or being feminine, so i am glad to see they are still acting like men there. we worn cowboy boots in
    Texas though i didnt see many blacks where them, i dont know what they were wearing actually.

    tims are very urban here and for hip hop gear here in philly. if you are a bm not into hip hop, or gansta rap in philly then you dont wear tims, also here they are for less mature black boyz and not men here

    Katie what shoes do the brothers wore in the UK? I love Tims myself because they are good and confortable shoes.

    because they look cool as sh_t. back in the day in the late 90's we would wear them even during the summer and in the winter. its the style. they just looks cool with the right jeans or pants on. I've been wearing them since late 80's starting with the super timeberlands... still got them and they look new.
    Oh I take the back I had the boat deck tims with the boot sole first in 1986.


    had many of the tan ones with the thick rugged sole, the dark brown leathers. and black can't get with all the rainbow colors..

    Oh and hi yall.

    I like them - my favourite of his are the sky blue ones, they're quite elegant in an odd way. And very sensible footwear for an English winter.

    Yes, i am a water sports fanatic. I scuba and snorkel; sail and boat, kayak and canoe, and duck hunt, fly fish, bass fish and deepsea fish

    how about you?

    having lived in latin america and grew up in coastal areas of SC and Florida, water is second nature

    Hey man i am good today. I have nothing much to do at work except just seal documents and stuff. Yes the pretty, sexy latina is doing great too. Its a responsibility of mine to keep her happy, you know? :lol:

    omg i didnt believe you knew all about water sports. maybe you can come down the coast sometime and lets have fun on the lovely Miami waters(no homosexual :lol: ). Like you too, being around aquatics is second nature. Lived in latin america and Lagos, Nigeria which has a lagoon linked to the Atlantic Ocean so i've been an aquatic fiend all my life.

    cool, sounds fun--i am open minded but not about the homosexual stuff. spear fishing in the flats are great, also surfing in Lauderdale is cool. and beach combing on south beach is sweeeeet

    i never miss beach combing with friends from college every weekend on South Beach. I actually initiated my girlfriend into water sports and now she comes along with me which makes it even more fun. Surfing around Florida generally is great fun, dont you think? oh yeah by the way, how long did you live in Florida?

    I don't buy clothes that are obviously made for Upper Class Euros/whites. You can tell that they are by the designs on the clothes, and I do have one pair of timberlands, but I don't make a habit out of spending my money on every single thing 'all the other guys' are wearing. :lol:

    I considered snowboarding, but later realized that too much cold and snow just doesn't work well w/ me after so many hours.

    i like the timb's for the smell, the loose look that goes good with baggy jeans... they come in all colors so you can match them with your jacket or sweater. timbs is the shiznit.. i couldnt see myself wearing sketchers or no duck looking polo boots. construction timbs look good on white girls too :lol:
