I'm thinking about getting some Dukes or Barons for my recently purchased Icelantic 181 Nomads. I am leaning towards the Dukes although they may be overkill for my ability. Dukes or Barons? Oh and this question will make me sound amateur, but will an alpine boot work with either of these bindings? I love my old boots and don't have it in the budget to get new ones anytime soon. Third question, if my alpine boots are indeed compatible with the Dukes or Barons, should I get the small or large? My boots are 305mm. Think the smalls will work with up to 320mm and the large are good for 305 and up? Kind of a grey area there!

alpine boots work fine in these, just make sure to have a shop set up the proper toe height adjustment.

Get smalls for you boot size, we need more information as to your profile (height and weight at least) and the terrain you ski to determine which binding. Alpine boots will work, however they may be slightly uncomfortable and heavy to tour in unless they have a walk mode. Nothing you can't endure
