La Cripta Dos is Omar Hassan's pro model shoe.
It looks dope.

Now I know these are shoes for pool skaters, but I skate mini ramp alot so it's pretty much on the same boat.

To start my rant, Im going to talk about how unbelievably horrible they are to break in. The white leather bit at the back kills your tendons, and the front is all flat.

Mine ripped in an hour of skating a kicker and a mini ramp.
Ridiculous.

Very thin sole, disgusting if you land primo.

The bright side to these shoes is when they break in they're comfortable, until you rip them and your toes feel the pain of the griptape.

So basically, don't buy them unless you dont do ANY flip tricks.


Actually dont buy them if you do anything that involves dragging your foot along the grip.

pool and minies are DIFFERENT totally. theres no flip tricks in pool at ALL. mostly grinds and airs.

I like those

^get some Vans TNT 2s, they have the same sole, with the same midsole but theyre way more durable (no textile ****, just pure suede)

Blunt fakies mostly, couple f/s blunts, stuff like that.

If you look what I said was they first ripped after an hour of mini ramp. But after that night I was skating street and stuff and after 2 weeks they ended up like the photo.

So what they ripped where after an hour. if they ripped at like where you do ollies it makes sense. but I doubt you ripped it like that from mini pipe. Street yeah that makes sense. But not mini.
