    Dukes for my Bro's...

    I wear a 28.5 sized boot.
    And I just ordered some Bro 188 stiffs

    So I wanna put some dukes on these babies, but do I need to get small (265-320) or Large (305-370) dukes?

    REI.com is sold out.
    Backcountry.com only has small dukes.

    Most of theplaces i've found online are also sold out.

    Whats an aspiring Bro owner to do?

    Naxos?

    What's your BSL? That's what matters - it should be molded into the outside of your sole somewhere. Smalls will handle up to a 320mm boot sole.

    In any case, if you're ever really in this situation make sure you at least bargain in a couple of fluffers.

    This has been discussed a few times so yeah, SEARCH JONG.

    Smalls are actually good to 325mm. My guess is though your 28.5 boot will be slightly outside of that.

    An average 28(.5 same thing) shell will be about right on 325, so you really do need to check out the bsl on the boot to see if it is higher or lower.

    I'd go with the larges, the adjust well below 325mm and if you ever end up with a boot slightly larger, you'd have the adjustment range necessary.

    I have smalls, and my 325mm DH boots fit fine, but my 327mm touring boots are a bit too long and max out the fwd pressure.

    No boots yet.
    Still trying to find a good hookup on some Endorphins, though I have read that if you have big calves (which I do) they are a little too tight on the calves...

    Considering some Scarpa SPirit 4's as well.

    Most of what I will be doing is steep skiing in the wasatch, stuff too steep and technical for my Tele skills at this point.
