Which ski boots does candide thovex use?

Can't figure out which boots he rides.

Maybe someone knows...

IIRC he rides ancient Salomon SPK and has a stash in a vault buried deep in the Alps somewhere Bond Villain style.

He took a metric shit ton of the boots after he left Salomon, I don’t know about a vault or anything like that but can confirm he does indeed have a fat stash of them
 
I always found it absolutely hilarious that he rocks SPKs because for all intents and purposes, nobody should be able to shred that hard with that boot... but there he goes absolutely flying down the mountain better than anyone here while wearing clapped out decade old squishy buckets at like 40.

seriously. That boot flexed knees to the skis.

not just that but it has an extremely upright angle, and is so wide that you'd need to be some kinda gorilla man to feasibly wear it.
 
surely candide would have access to a bootfitter that could punch out a more performance boot than an old spk. Even if he has wide feet
 
Quite easy to see the buckle in many of his instagram posts, they are indeed spk.

there are a whole lot of well known skiers that didn’t shelf the spk until the last couple years
