   I don’t see the R9. Out of line?

      You can still get them (see here) but it seems they are being phased out in favor of the Kobra Mid

   Found all these online, the new Salming Line up, new colours for the Adder and Kobra, along with new Viper 4 in two colours and a new Race X.

   I am interested in buying either the Viper 2.0 or Viper 3.0. I have previously played with the Asics Gel Blade 3 or 4 for the last 4 or 5 years but I understand that the latest Gel Blades are not as good.

   Can anyone tell me if the Vipers are a close alternative to the Gel Blade 3 or 4 and also whether there is much improvement in the Viper 3.0 over the Viper 2.0 to justify the extra money?

   I currently own the asics gel blast 7‘s, which Salming shoe is closest to them in regards to comfort? The gel blast wore out rather quickly, I’ve only had them for about 4 months and they’re already losing grip/worn out.

   I’m looking for something that has good ankle support as well, I used my soles from my gel blast 5‘s in the 7’s because the ankle support was horrendous with the soles of the 7. I dont want to pay top dollar for a salming shoe if it will wear out faster than the Asics or if it does not have good cushioning in addition to ankle support.

         I am buying a pair for the first time for my husband. He has just started playing but I believe in buying the best. After reading the reviews here m pretty sure to buy salming. But could someone tell me the differnce in R2 3.0 and salming 91.?
         Which is better?
         And if anyone knows where can I get them in India.

            I don’t think Salming 91 are court shoes. I would not buy those.

            I love the R2 though!

            i would highly recommend the R2’s as well

            love the vipers as well.

            not sure where you could get them in India but Salming is pretty true to size so you could buy online and buy w/ confidence that they’ll be a good fit.

            hope that helps!

      I don’t like the viper model , and as I see the cobra model it’s almost the same .. Poor quality … Poor amortiguation … I don’t recommend those shoes, and besides very expensive

         what is it you don’t like about them? i’m just curious

         construction and quality w/ salming shoes seem to be wonderful in regards and comparison to other brands of squash shoes.

         they are expensive for sure…but so are adidas.

            The quality is poor … I’ve compared with the stabil adipower and there’s a lot of difference … Adidas is better

         adidas are heavy and clunky. they’re expensive as well and i couldn’t play w/ them after 1 month cause i had plantar fasciitis

         so it’s a matter of preference really …and personal opinion. for me salming are well constructed and last for a good time…over 6 months for me

            depends on the Adidas model really, the court stabil 10.1 that Ramy wears are very lightweight……….the adipowers that Galtier wears are a little heavier, but his movement seems okay!

               Depends on the model… the adipower 10.1 and 11 are very lightweight and durable… I’m a defensive player I have to stretch my legs much on Court, and Viper salming at 6 months looks like an old shoe… that is not the case of adidas… Insist on that the materials not are of good quality for the price
