We were greeted by Grand Master Armando, who has been practicing, instructing and supporting martial arts in EP for over many years. He sized the kids for their uniforms and answered there many questions with patience that marked his many years as an instructor. The store was full of gear and GM Armando shared information with us to be successful. All I had to mention was the school's name and that was enough to get us all that we needed. I was pleased with the interaction and recommend this shop if you're in need of gear or recommendations.

They carry the same kinds of shoes. If you don't find them here, they may have them at Burlington. The shoes are reasonably priced. I think they used to have more options in the past. A part of the store has empty shelves. I was looking for some heels for a quinceanera the last time I was there. They offer shoes for men, women and children. Another plus is that there's handbags and accessories for women like earrings, necklaces, etc. I like some of these items. The staff is always friendly and willing to help. I'm not sure when I'll return but I know I will. Maybe just maybe I'll find something to buy next time. Overall I've had some decent experiences here minus an actual purchase.

If you like saving money giving you the ability to buy twice as much this is your place. I wish they had a store Chicago! The staff was also very friendly and helpful. Edit: typos on the phone.

This place is great! I've wanted to check it out for awhile now. I'm so glad I was finally able to!…read moreI'm a nosy and curious person...I always have been and probably always will be! I've seen the shop a couple of times when going to Dollar Tree or Michaels. Unfortunately, they were always closed! If you sort of want to relive the 80's and 90's (maybe even further back), you need to visit Air Chuco. I say some of the best music came from these two decades. Not all but quite a bit imo. Air Chuco sells vintage concert t-shirts, jerseys, jackets, toys, pins, shoes and more. Remember those Starter jackets from the early 90s? Air Chuco has them! I was almost tempted to buy a Dallas Cowboys one but I didn't. They also have old school UTEP and NMSU gear! There's a black hoodie of Tupac, Biggie Smalls and Eazy E that I really want! I hope they'll still have it when I go back. They had a New Kids on the Block t- shirt! Lol. No comment on that. The t-shirts start at $5 and up. I got to meet the owner and he was really cool and down to earth. He said they've been around for about five months now. Him and other vintage shops get together at Good Times Bar on Cincinnati to sell their items every first Saturday of the month. It's kind of like a vintage swap meet if you will. I'd like to check it out. Air Chuco is fun and I'll be visiting again soon. I want that hoodie SO bad! Another cool thing...The owner plays music on a record player! When do you ever see that? I love the nostalgia of it all! This is a great place to buy a gift for that special someone or yourself. I sort of got that basement/garage atmosphere feel when I was there.

You feel special just being in this space. The experience is heightened by outstanding service. I caring here twice in the past few months to buy gifts for my gal pals. They carry a line of iPhone cases called Bandelorios, that snuggly hold your phone in a crossbody case that has a snap closure pocket on the back for a credit card, cash or driver's license. The crossbody strap can be plain or embellished with studs, and other decorative hardware. I have one myself and it is a great way to not have to hand hold your phone. So with my two gift purchases, the sales attendants expertly wrapped and gift bowed the packages and placed them in very nice gift bag shopping bags- at no cost. This was a time saver for me...yeah I had to wait while they wrapped the gifts, but they brought me champagne while I sat and browsed the shop...you need to treat yourself while you are treating your friends!

I just found out today how ignorant I am about El Paso....did you know we have a Guinness world…read morerecord holder for the world's biggest boots here in El Paso? They just happen to be in one of fashion's most celebrated artisanal boot maker's workshop right here in El Paso (which is apparently also the boot capital of Texas). I present to you Rocketbusters. I read about them thru a business journal about apprenticeships and how they mentor young folks in trade crafts. I had been up til then, saving up pennies to visit Heritage Boot Co. in Austin, since I only heard about them making custom boots. I can't believe we have our own artisan boot maker's here as well! Duh me, right? ‍ As soon as I found out, I messaged them to visit and they told me to call. I was able to get a last minute appointment and they were gracious enough to show me the process, their workshop, and some of their beautiful works of art. Their building is in downtown and I've actually been in their parking lot for the farmer's market, so it's a cool area. We walked up and saw a huge horse on top (ask them about it) and doubles as a weathervane! The workshop is super cool, they have some really cool art as well as the beautiful boots on display to show off their work. You can touch, smell, and see the master artisan's work in the designs. The world's largest boots (real boots with leather, sizing, etc) are also on display and even their restroom is cool! They showed me samples of the designs that they did for charity, movie stars, celebrities, etc and each had a cute backstory. My host was kind and very knowledgeable. The things that they can do to leather is incredible! They also had a huge display of all sorts of boots, mules, and even children's boots, all custom made. Prices start at $1200, which is eye opening, but considering the work put in and the lifetime of the boots, it's actually a deal. Why the cost? They start by hand measuring your feet, since no foot is alike, this is crucial to having a custom fit. I didn't get to do it since it was so last minute to squeeze me in. They then discuss the design and the creative process begins, some designs can take 2 months, some 2 years, depending on the customer and if they like what is being designed for them. They hand draw, cut, and paint the leather designs...some like the mermaid, will have over 50 passes of paint and dyes! It's meant to soak into the leather and have staying power over the lifetime of the boot. That's quality you can see. Some of the designs were so intricate, it looks like actual wood! They train local artisans and keep them on as a full hire should they want to stay. I love that the traditions and expert knowledge gets passed on in hands on training. Come out if you're interested in supporting artisans in our backyard. People from all parts of the world order from them, but we can actually see the process, feel it and see our custom order locally! I know what I'll be saving my pennies for in the next couple of years! #supportlocal

Wow! I'm impressed that this place doesn't have any Yelp reviews yet! I visited this place in…read moredowntown El Paso last month, and thought it was one of the most unique and coolest places I visited on my trip there! I called the day before my planned visit to request a tour. Rocketbuster Boots prefers that visitors who want a tour request one ahead of time, just to make sure that someone is available on the day and time of your planned visit to give the tour. Didi provided me with a fantastic and free tour that lasted about an hour. She was so awesome and friendly!! She provided me with the history of how Rocketbuster Boots started, explained the process of how clients decide to order their custom handmade boots, introduced me to some of their seasoned designers and also to some of their interns who were diligently working, and then took me down to the basement where the boots are polished and sanded down, then hung to dry. Although the tour is free, I still gave Didi a tip for taking the time to show me around, especially since she was taking time away from her lineup of boot orders to provide the tour. Didi even introduced me to Nevena, a super kind lady who owns Rocketbuster Boots and makes sure that their operations run smoothly on the weekdays. I was astounded to learn that celebrities like Arnold Schwarzenegger have bought at least 80 pairs of boots from here!! How can anyone wear that many pairs in a year? Apparently, he is one of their biggest customers! I got to see and touch some of the really cool boots that were already made! A pair starts anywhere from $1000 and as high as $4000! I can't afford any of these! But they are really nice to look at! Some of the really fancy boots even have Swarovski crystals embedded in them! If you're ever in El Paso, I would highly recommend you to check out this place! You will be very amazed and learn a lot!! There are so many cool and fun photo ops, too!! And everyone here is really friendly! Rocketbuster usually has their own private parking lot for visitors and customers. However, on the day I visited, the lot was blocked off for repaving and renovation. So I had to park in one of the independent parking lots about a half block away, next to a courthouse. The independent parking lot was alright because it cost only $3 for at least a couple of hours. And it's better to park there than to risk getting a ticket from parking in timed or restricted areas.
