Firstly, I found that the sizing ran small, not large, like the other reviewers. I am a 9 1/2 to 10, so I ordered the 9 as was recommended; my toes were so squashed that I could not move them. 10s are not available right now, so I'm returning the boots, and probably trying the Conquest. Secondly, the boots are very awkward to walk in. They truly are platform boots; your foot is at least 1 1/2 (maybe 2) inches off the ground. Hermon Munster boots, yes. Maybe even boots from the rock band KISS. They feel ridiculous. You could never walk any distance in these. I have not doubt they will keep you warm, but they'll only be comfortable if you're standing still or sitting. Also, with only three or four laces, it feels like you're going to walk right out of them; I can't imagine how this 'negative' would amplify if I tried the 10s. Ice fishing.... they'd be great. Moving around in the snow.... get something that will stay on your feet.
Customer Review: Very Nice Boots
The Intrepid Explorer boots are the best boots I've ever owned. They are very warm. They are a little awkward at first due to its large external size, but one will quickly get used to walking in them in no time. It also took about 15 minutes to break them in. If you're familiar with Herman Munster, the boots resemble his shoes and size. And as Big Bob pointed out, these boots are large internally, too. I'm a size 8.5 to 9 and am glad I purchased the size 8's (great tip, Big Bob). There is enough room on the inside of the boots for someone who wants to wear multiple pairs of socks. Although a bit pricey, I highly recommend these boots.
The other deck of XVIII century was described by Breitkopf: "this deck has four suits: Ven (civil), Woo (military), Co (science), Juan (0cademy), nine cards each suit. Each card has a corresponding title within this suit. In such a way we have the most important ranks of the civil hierarchy and in particular the most important officers from minor to senior".
Prunner has distinguished three main elements in the Chinese cards of XVII: literary quotations; toasts and wishes; suits in the form of monetary denomination (from hundred thousands and tens of thousands to hundreds and coins). Later on the officials and toasts disappeared from the cards and only citation and money remained. The most famous Chinese cards are money cards. The value of the card is determined by the denomination of the money cord.
The most ancient Japanese cards were produced from the shells and were intended for literary entertainments of the educated public. The lines from the poems were depicted on the shells. The aim of the game was to correctly combine the shells (to compose a poem). This game was a predecessor of the game called "one hundred poets". The classical collection of poems of hundred of poets of VII-XIII centuries was presented on these cards in the following manner: one card with an image of the poet, the other one with a line or lines from his poem. The players should properly match the cards.
Heraldic cards.
Their appearance in XVII century is associated with the name of Claude Oronce Fine, who published one of the first decks with coat of arms under the pseudonym of de Brainville in 1660 in Lion: Jeu de Blason, Father Mnestrier, who issued the same deck of cards a couple years later, tells about the first unexpected troubles of Fine: some princes were seriously offended that they were depicted as jacks and aces. The cards were confiscated by the magistrate and Fine had to change the pictures. However, soon the author of the deck became very successful and the cards were reissued with new coat of arms. A community of young noblemen called "Armorists" was formed in Naples; they studied coat of arms of numerous noble families. From Naples the idea reached Venice. In 1682 Benedictine, Dom Kasimir Frescott, offered to the Doge of Venice and to the senate Venetian the deck with coat of arms of Venetian noblemen. The supplementary book to the deck said: "Virtue in game or famous Venetians from patrician families".
Decks of historic gambling cards.
The subject of the pictures on the cards were historical personalities. Depicting of the heroes of the ancient times (Alexander the Great, Caesar, Carl the Great, etc.) as card kings, antique goddesses and great women (Athena, Jeanne d'Arc, Judith and others.) as queens, outstanding brave men (Hector, Decius, Lancelot, etc.) as jacks - became a tradition almost from the very birth of the cards production in Europe. The artists painted the card characters similar to real life modern monarchs, commanders and their ladyloves of their times (Karl VII, Agns Sorel etc.). For example, in time of the Great French revolution, the monarchs on the cards were replaced with free-thinkers and tyrant fighters: Voltaire, Hannibal, Horace, La Fontaine, Molire, Rousseau, Saint-Simon. Many cards of great art value were painted by the famous artists and engravers on the order of the high and mighties. So, the cards present a priceless historical material that enables to conduct numerous researches and studies.
