Comments: To Howie, San Francisco, CA. There is no hassle to get the second pair by warranty at all. This is absolutely regular procedure for all brands including the Prince. The Prince (just like others) will send you another pair and it is going to be the current top model (not Prince Cobra NFS). So, you will get a chance to compare and enjoy of higher quality shoes than you paid for. There is a warranty form which comes with the shoes in the box. Just fill that form up and send old shoes and the form together by the address which you should be able to find on the form as well. It usually take a couple of weeks before you'll get a new pair.

Comments: I love the men's cobra NFS Black shoes by prince, they are very comfortable, you do not have to break them in like many other ones. I have extreme flat feet and they are great. However they do not last 6 months at all, they last more like 3 months and I play about twice or 3 times a week. I am a 4.5 player and I bought 4 pairs and within 5 1/2 months, my second pair is done, (going on my 3 pair mostly on the heel of the shoes), the rubber and traction burns so quickly. I have never returned anything with the 6 month, so don't know how to return it and think it might be a hassle, I wish they did not guarantee a 6 month policy.

Comments: Good price for a 6-month durability shoe but not a good shoe. It became bumpy up front after only 10 days of playing and they feel uncomfortable now. When they were brand new they felt good but after a week of use they lost their comfy feeling :(

Comments: The shoes are definitely not the best on the market. Everyone may have different personal experience depending from the quality of shoes you used to wear before P Cobra NFS. I used to play in Adidas shoes, mostly Barricade or other Adidas shoes with six-month durability guarantee. The major complains are about comfort: it takes a week or two to get used to and recover after the break-in period once you switched from something really comfortable. There is a pretty long and unpleasant break-in time. Be ready to get some blisters. Of course, if you always wear only these you will be fine. Durability: Do no last over two months (playing daily). Price: There is nothing that has lower price with six-month durability warranty than Cobra NFS (currently). The upper part loses shape through the time pretty quickly and stops providing good support after approximately a month of use. I cannot recommend these shoes to anyone, just because it is not good idea to sacrifice your heather for saving some money.

Comments: I play tennis at least 5 times a week for 2 hours each time. I needed shoes that help up while being a perfect fit for me - These are the best shoes I've had (I haven't had too many) There's not much slip, especially when sprinting forward to that drop shot that someone hit on you... On the sideways part, there is a tiny bit of slip going full speed, but you have good enough grip on the bottom. Little rocks get caught in between the cracks on the bottom of my shoes, which bothers me, but I can get them out with my fingers. All in all, I give these shoes a 9 out of 10 for grip and durability

Comments: These shoes are fabulous! If you have great dynamic balance and are a defensive type of player you'll enjoy the added comfort, lightweight and ease of sliding! They are a bit slippery but I enjoyed being able to slide on the court! Just know that when running hard for a ball out wide you might be sliding after contact. Learn how to slide!
From: Jeremy, West Covina, CA, USA 02/10

Comments: These are the worst shoes I have ever worn. They are very slippery on the court and offer little to no support. I was playing a hard match in a tournament and I was hitting a running forehand and tried to stop right after making contact with the ball and my right foot just kept going. I stretched my ACL and it hurt for a week. Even when less intense hitting I can feel the shoe trying to grab the court but it just cant it will catch and slip. These shoes are comfortable that's the only good thing about them.

Comments: I thought these shoes were great, 6 months and they still work great.
From: Alfredo, Dalles, OR, USA 01/10

Comments: Good traction. Great fit. No breaking-in time. My foot fits the NFS model -- widest at the base of the little toe -- so, this is the ideal, lightweight shoe for me. Almost as good as the glove-leather shoe Head made a few years ago. I'm an all-court scurrier.
From: Rusten, Santa Cruz, CA, USA 01/10

Comments: I just tried these after more than 15 pairs of the Viper II's to see if they would be worth the switch. My arches are flat and my shovel is quite wide so I need a lot of room up front. These are a bit narrower up front than the Viper II's, but have great out of the box comfort and traction. After a couple play days I switched back to my thick Thorlos and they had stretched enough to be roomy enough up front. After 6 play days I can say I may have found my next shoe.

Comments: The shoes are horrible. They are so light and slippery. I got blisters on both of my feet at the first day I wore them. I'll never buy these shoes again. Actually, I like the Prince OC-1 the best.
From: Allen, San Ramon, CA, USA. 7/09

Comments: I've had these shoes for 6 months now. Traction has been great. I can wear any shoe, but this fit is horrible. These shoes are way too tight in the toebox. They gave me blisters on the outside of both little toes. If you don't lace them up perfect every time, you will get blisters.
From: Mike, Wilmington, NC, USA. 07/09

Comments: I've worn nothing but Prince my whole life. I wore these shoes one match and they are horrible. Traction was bad. I was sliding all over the court. Speed is a big part of my game so I have to have good traction. In the second set, I planted my right foot to stop and my foot slid forward in my shoe and pain went right through my toes and foot. My big toe nail had broke off. I'll never wear these shoes again and I'll go back to my Prince Roadrunners. DON'T BUY THESE SHOES!
From: Jamie, Winston-Salem, NC. 04/09

Comments: Great shoes. Plenty of width and traction. Bring back memories of the NFS Freaks.
