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.
2024 seems to be the year of the Cowboy and that is certainly the case when it comes to fashion.
Cowboy boots have been all the rage for a couple of years now and they don’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon.
And whilst the real deal may set you back hundreds of pounds, you can’t walk past a high street store now without seeing a version.
But what makes them so popular?
Not only are most of them a good heel height, not too high, not too low, meaning you’re able to wear them all day with comfort, but many of them leave room around your leg which makes them look super flattering.
Plus you can wear them with anything, from mini skirts and shorts in the summer, to longer dresses and midi skirts as we transition into the colder months, a boot you can wear all year round, which can’t be said for many others.
And that’s what makes them so great, they’re versatile and comfortable – what more could you want?
Here’s hoping the Cowboy craze stays around for a while to come.

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!”
