THEY’RE one of the hottest footwear trends of the year.
But anyone who owns a pair of cowboy boots knows that they aren’t always the comfiest shoes to wear.

However, one fashion fan has come up with a genius hack so that she can dance all night in hers.
Dais took to TikTok to share a video explaining, as she showed herself slathering Tesco’s 5% Ibuprofen gel on her feet.
“Girlies, Ibuprofen gel on your feet before cowboy boots!” she wrote over the top of the clip.
She then showed herself slipping on a stunning pair of bejewelled blue cowboy boots.
“Works a treat!” she added in the caption, alongside hashtags which made it clear she was heading out for a busy night on the dancefloor in Ibiza.
And people in the comments were quick to praise her for sharing the hack.
“Omg does this actually work?” one wrote.
“Because I went to a day/night rave on Saturday and had to change my shoes after 5 hours so I could do the next 5!”
“Yes I think it does,” Dais replied.
“But need to take it with you and put on every few hours.”
“This is actually so smart,” another wrote.
“Wish I did this the other day! My feet are so sore now!” a third sighed.
As someone else said: “Why did I not know this before I went to Ibiza?!
“I had blisters about 5cm wide and couldn’t walk!”
“This is the most amazing thing I’ve seen on my fyp, I’m buying!!!” another raved.
“Wait do you wear no socks?” someone else questioned.
Fashion editor reveals the 90s trends that should stay in the past
NINETIES and noughties trends especially have become a hit with Gen Z – most likely because they didn’t wear them the first time round. Here, Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale gives the rundown of some of the trends that have made a comeback that we wish did not.
Disc belts
“A hit with celebrities like Victoria Beckham and Blake Lively, the belt itself did nothing that a belt should actually do – it was a mere fashion statement, not a piece to actually hold anything up.
“And it seems it’s not just me who is enraged by its return, with many taking to TikTok to give their views, saying: ‘Oh no not the disc belt! I don’t think I have the energy for it a 2nd time around’ – I feel you.”
Jelly shoes
“After not being seen on shelves for decades, they’ve made a reappearance and this time they’re not just for kids.
“Coming in a range of colourful patterns, you can get them all over the high street in either flat or heeled versions.
“Not only will you look very childish wearing such shoes, but people will also need to learn that they aren’t the comfiest – blister plasters will come in handy.”
Pedal pushers
“The cropped knee-grazing trouser were all the rage in the 1990s and 2000s, but this time the model fash pack are all over them – with both Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski wearing them out recently.
“The original IT girls, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot helped make the trousers – also called Capri pants – look effortlessly cool and glam.
“Somehow this time round they don’t seem to be having that same effect.”
With Dais laughing: “I do wear them girl, I just put the gel on first!”
“I do this with all my heels! Lifesaver!” another commented.
While others used the comments section to share their own methods of preventing sore feet.
“Silicone spray is the way forward,” one wrote.
“It leaves a coating on your feet and let’s you just dance all night!”
“Listen… flight socks. Like the compression socks grannies get, the best,” another added.
“Ibuprofen gel and then ice freeze spray and you’re golden,” a third said.
“Soft insoles pound shop cut to size. Rave and fezzy hack,” someone else wrote.
But not everyone was impressed with the hack, with some warning that it can cause damage if it’s used too regularly.
“I’m living on a planet where people numb their feet because their shoes hurt ‘but they look cute’,” one wrote.
“Our planet is doomed!”
To which Dais hit back: “Haha people out there doing worse, I’m just girl trying to dance in sparkly boots for the night!”
