- Less than 26 if using Garmont or Crispi
- 26.5 or less for Scarpa

That's a screaming deal on the binding, the mount plate alone runs $85 (if you can find them).

Ah yes, you are correct teledad - I inverted the shell sizes by mfg. Haste makes waste.
- Large NTN sole w/Crispi, Garmont, Scott >/= 26.5 -OR- > 26.0 Scarpa
- Small NTN sole </= 26.0 Scarpa -OR- < 26.5 w/Crispi, Garmont, Scott
Another way to tell is to look at the BSL. I just checked a pair of Garmont Prophets, sz. 26.5, Crispi Shivers (sz 26.5), and Scarpa TX (sz 26.0) The Garmont and Crispi have the larger sole, BSL is unmarked but measures 305mm on both. BSL on the Scarpa TX is 299mm, mondo sz. 26.0, and the sole is NTN Small. If it is less than 305 it is probably a small NTN sole. No examples of a sole in between 300mm-304mm (inclusive) to know where the exact break in BSL size is.
- Standard NTN sole > ~303mm BSL > Small NTN sole
Confusion in binding sizing at the mid-point of the bell shaped curve for popular boot sizes is one of the amazing snafu's of NTN. It should have been on one side or the other, not dead center. C'est la vie.
