Next's 'comfy from first wear' cowboy boots are 'bang on trend' for summer
These Western-style boots can be worn to music festivals and on casual day outs all summer long.
It's officially festival season for many music lovers right now. From Glasgow's TRNSMT to Cheshire's Creamfields, there are still many on the calendar left to attend.
For those trekking through fields, it pays to wear the right footwear that are also on trend. On the lucky days it doesn't downpour, there are a few trendier alternatives to the classic wellies.
That's why we think that these £59 Forever Comfort Leather Ankle Cowboy Boots from Next would finish any festival outfit perfectly, whether that be the classic denim shorts and suede jacket or a boho-inspired, floaty dress.
With their Western-inspired style, they are "bang on trend" for summer '25 and festival fashion in general. Crafted from a soft leather material, they won't rub or irritate bare skin when worn all day and night.
Designed with a cushioned footbed and short block heel, they are said to be "very comfortable", even when worn for hours at a time. They are finished with the traditional zip-up fastening at the side of the boot.

Product Description
Available in both a standard/wide fit and an extra/wide fit to cater to more sizes, they can be purchased in a variety of colours that include black, champagne gold and leopard print, but some are selling out fast.
When we last checked, sizes still ranged from a three through to a nine, with half-sizes also available for those who need to purchase that in-between size.
For the fashion fans who like to wear something a touch snazzier, then River Island's Silver Leather Western Heeled Ankle Boots are now £32 after being reduced from their usual £80.
Meanwhile, Boohoo shoppers can fully embrace the Western trend by opting for these knee-length Vintage Look Western Style Tassel Detail Cowboy Boots that cost £54.
Considering Next's own cowboy boots are selling fast, it's understandable why shoppers have been keen to express their enthusiasm, with reviews for multiple colours saying they are "comfy from first wear" and "look more expensive" than their actual worth.
One five-star review read: "These boots are absolutely gorgeous. I usually don't buy shoes like these, it was a real treat and loved them so much I ended up buying them in another colour. Really comfortable, suede is lovely, subtle cowboy style, 10/10."
Someone else gushed: "Love them. Comfortable from the first wear, and I wore them all day with no blisters."
Fashion deal of the week
Looking to make a statement this summer? Then this is the wardrobe update you need.
Roman's Fuchsia Floral Ruched Waist Maxi Dress is said to be such a show-stopper, that customers say they get "stopped" and asked "where they bought it from."
While it does retail at £48, fashion fans can add this pop of colour to their summer style for less, as the clothing retailer is offering it for 10 per cent less when using the code HAPPY at the checkout, reducing the total cost to £43.20.
Falling to a floaty maxi-length hemline, it offers a "flattering" effect on the figure thanks to its fit-and-flare design, thick ruched waistline and tie-belt feature, all which will help streamline and cinch the body.
Its short sleeves, lightweight material and its multi-coloured all-over floral print design make it the ultimate breezy and "eye-catching" choice for the current hot, humid days we are experiencing.
Finished with a chic V-neckline and a wooden button detailing down the front, this colourful maxi dress is ideal for pairing with some chunky wedge sandals and maybe even a denim jacket for the unpredictable summer weather.
The £48 frock is still available to buy in sizes 10 through to 20. There's also a pink floral version that is a touch less vibrant than the fuchsia colourway in the same sizes, with the exception of a 12.
Averaging a near perfect 4.9 rating, one shopper praised: "I have this dress and wore it for the first time today. Went out to lunch and a number of people stopped me to say how nice my dress was. I can't remember the last time that happened."
A second admiring shopper wrote: "Absolutely stunning so feminine, floaty got quite a few compliments. It will be going to Greece with me this year."

Another praised: "Gorgeous boots, very comfortable but very stylish too !! Great to wear with jeans, trousers or dresses, bang on trend! Well made & look more expensive than their price tag. I would highly recommend these fab boots."
Not everyone was as pleased with the fit, as one shopper left a three-star review that read: "Well priced boots, but they just weren't comfortable and not a great fit. They look nice though."
Someone else praising the fit wrote in their own review: "Very comfortable, no need to break in. Survived a complete soaking whilst on holiday. Highly recommend."
