(More customer reviews)I have been played the violin for over eight years. During this time, I've always had trouble with shoulder rests. I've tried Kun supers, original, collapsible, mach ones, a Wolfe, and play-on-airs but none of them were satisfactory. Kuns are quite comfortable but come off rather easily. Wolfes are uncomfortable because they are quite rigid. I found play-on-airs to not provide enough support. Mach ones are built like a Kun backwards and cut into my shoulder a little. So, especially if you like the comfort of a Kun, the Viva is your solution. (The contour is similar.) The grips have no plastic in them so that they don't wear out and scratch your violin but are very strong. (It's kinda funny because sometimes when I take off one of the grips, the other side alone can keep the shoulder rest on for a couple seconds before it falls off.) I don't know about availibility, but I got mine at Ted Brown.
I suggest trying shoulder rests out before you buy them if you can. People have all sorts of preferences.
