K-pop stars Jenny, Hyori, and Shin Min-a are making toe shoes the hottest trend-discover why these quirky kicks are catching on, their health perks, and how you can grab a pair in India. If you've scrolled through your Insta lately, you might've spotted Jenny, Hyori, or Shin Min-a rocking what look like superhero socks with toes. Welcome to the world of toe shoes-a wild blend of comfort, style, and a dash of "look at me!" Originally made for running, fitness, and water sports, these shoes have exploded into streetwear thanks to K-pop icons. Imagine feeling barefoot but with all the protection of shoes-pretty much the best of both worlds. Hyori's toe shoes Health Perks - Why Your Feet Will Thank You Toe shoes aren't just about flexing your style-they're actually good for you! The design lets your toes move independently, activating muscles that regular sneakers ignore. It's like a mini foot workout every time you walk. You get better balance, stronger feet, and even less sweat between your toes (bye, stinky feet!). Doctors say the separation of toes means less moisture build-up, making them perfect for humid Indian summers. But heads up: the thin soles mean less shock absorption, so if you have flat feet, bunions, or foot issues, these might not be your everyday kicks. Start slow, listen to your feet, and keep it fun. Can You Buy Toe Shoes in India? Absolutely! Here's the good news: toe shoes and barefoot-style footwear are now available in India, both online and in select stores. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy One, Get Two Free, Up To 60% Discount, Expiring Soon Adidas India Shop Now Undo While the trend is still catching on, you'll find minimalist running shoes and toe shoes from homegrown and international brands on popular e-commerce platforms. The market is growing, with more Indian youth getting curious about the "barefoot" movement and its health benefits. Prices vary widely, but expect to pay anywhere from a few thousand rupees for basic models to much higher for imported brands. The selection is still smaller than in Korea or the West, but it's expanding fast-so you can totally join the trend without waiting for your next trip abroad. Let's be honest-Indian youth have always loved comfort and quirky trends. Remember Kolhapuri chappals or those classic rubber slippers everyone has at home? Toe shoes are like their futuristic cousin, blending the freedom of going barefoot with a splash of K-pop cool. The "barefoot" vibe fits right in with our yoga, dance, and chill-at-home culture. Just like in Korea, where celebs spark trends overnight, Indian influencers are quick to try out anything bold and different. So whether you're a sneakerhead, a sandals loyalist, or just looking for something new, toe shoes are a reminder that fashion is about having fun, expressing yourself, and letting your toes wiggle free. And now, you don't have to look overseas-they're right here, ready for your next college fest or monsoon stroll.

Travelers warn about new viral airport trend after missing their flights
The 'airport theory' is the latest craze sweeping social media and it sees plane passengers challenge the conventional advice of arriving at the airport several hours before a flight but many passengers have missed their flights. The concept sees travelers arrive just 15 to 20 minutes before their scheduled boarding or departure time - using carry-on luggage and online check-in to their advantage - in the hope they can still make their flight. While some travelers have successfully boarded their flights using this method, others have been less successful and are now warning against the risk of relying on tight timing. In February, American TikTok user Tiffany, who goes by @momlifewithtiff, documented in a video the moment she and her husband almost missed their flight while taking on the challenge. In an accompanying caption, she wrote: 'Definitely do not recommend trying the airport theory. Will certainly be getting to the airport 2 hours early from now on.' Posting time stamps of the pair's dash to board from the gate at the very last few moments, she wrote at 7.59am: 'Been in line for a while already. Flight started boarding 11 minutes ago. We started asking people to let us go in front of them.' She noted that at 8.12am, she and her husband were 'last to board' the plane, and at 8.14am, they finally settled into their seats. Another TikTok user, Jenny, who goes by @jenny_kurtzz, took to the platform in February to share the less fortunate outcome of her attempt at the challenge. In a video that showed the moment she arrived at the gate, only to find that her flight had departed, she added in a caption: 'For those of you thinking about testing out the airport theory - don't. Missed my flight.' Nicole Campoy Jackson, a travel advisor at Fora Travel, told People in April that the airport theory is a gamble not worth taking. She said: 'It only takes one stressful missed flight for you to realize this trend is pointlessly risky. The easiest way to guarantee you'll eventually miss a flight is to rely on this 'theory.' On TikTok, hundreds of commenters shared their views below Jenny and Tiffany's videos, with passengers appearing to show support for the trend as it would ultimately enable them to 'fly for free'. One person wrote: 'As a flight attendant who only flies for free when there's space available, thank you.' Another commented, 'Keep that trend going! I love the empty seats,' as a third added, 'As someone who flies standby, hell yeah let's keep this trend GOING.' Flying 'standby' means a passenger is on a list to potentially board a flight without a confirmed seat, hoping to fill any empty seats after all ticketed passengers have boarded. It's a gamble as passengers are not guaranteed seats and are essentially waiting to see if space becomes available - meaning passengers who miss their flights due to participating in the airport theory trend are freeing up seats for those on the list. However, many other viewers condemned the challenge, as one quipped: 'So [the airport theory] is just fancy talk for having no time management.' Another wrote: 'My father was a pilot for 27 years. The airport theory is a myth every time. 'You may get lucky with a fluke that left you waiting but I promise 90% of the time you will miss your flight.' A third said: 'The 'airport theory' literally only works for SMALL airports. I live in the Midwest I can go an hour or so before my flight but places like Miami, Houston, pls get there 2-3 hours early.'

It's official! These are the top 10 tear-jerking movie scenes of all time, perfect for a weekend weep
We love a good tear-jerker of a movie. There's just something about getting cosy on a Sunday afternoon and sobbing your heart out over fictional characters. Seriously a big ugly cry, where you splutter and sigh as a character dies/falls in love/discovers an affair is beyond cathartic. But what is the most emotional movie scene of all time? Well, Samsung polled 2,000 UK adults, to mark the launch of the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7, about their TV and movie watching habits, and found that 71 per cent have cried over at a film or TV show while watching it on their phones. But of all the films in the world, which movies had the most emotive scenes? Here's the top 10 most tear-jerking scenes perfect for a weekend sob fest. We challenge anyone not to cry at this moment in the Pixar movie. It's a wordless scene where we see the couple's life together through a series of moments that deeply showcases their love for one another and honestly, it's just a tearjerker. We love Alan Rickman, but we did not love his character Harry in Love Actually after it was revealed he had cheated on Emma Thompson's character Karen, and she found out in the most heartbreaking way. Imagine unboxing what you think is a gorgeous piece of jewellery only to discover it's actually a CD, and your husband has given the necklace to his secretary. Cue: Joni Mitchell playing sadly in the corner. Gets us every time. They don't make friendships like that anymore. In our opinion this should be much higher up the list. All the family having to say goodbye to Marley when he's slowly dying? Actually crushing. It really was the end of an era when we had to witness Andy give away Woody, Buzz and the rest of the gang. Just as he was ending his childhood, so were we and we're still not really over it. This is a really poignant scene when Liam Neeson's character Schindler breaks down over the guilt and pain he feels over not being able to save more of those from the Holocaust. Jenny and Forrest's relationship was both joyful and crushing to watch for the majority of the movie and so it really hits home when the scene comes to Forrest at Jenny's grave. He gives an update on their son's life and also reveals he bulldozed Jenny's father's home, but our tears really start to go when Forrest breaks into tears too. Another Tom Hanks movie in the top five, but this time it's the heartbreaking scene of John Coffey's execution played brilliantly by Michael Clarke Duncan. How was this moment allowed in a kids movie? It honestly broke us then, and still breaks us now as Simba realises his beloved father has been crushed by the wildebeest. Except, she did. And we're not sure we ever recovered. The most emotional moment of all cinematic history according to the Samsung poll is of course when Rose and Jack are in the ocean and she's on that floating door and she promises to hold onto Jack's hand, only to see him slip away moments later. Cues: floods of tears.

Gogglebox's Lee Riley shares rare glimpse of Jenny Newby's husband Ray
Gogglebox star Lee Riley has shared a rare snap of his best friend Jenny Newby's husband Ray, with fans of the Channel 4 show thrilled to finally 'put a face to the name'. Gogglebox 's Lee Riley has sent fans into a frenzy by offering a rare glimpse of his co-star Jenny Newby's husband Ray. Lee, 57, took to Instagram exciting fans with delightful snaps from their recent trip to Cyprus. Of course not one to be far behind was long-time best pal Jenny, 69, and her rarely-seen husband. Lee posted: "What a fabulous catch up with my beautiful side kick Jenny and husband Ray at home in Northern Cyprus." Included in the post were smile-filled shots of Lee and Ray sharing a drink at the bar, a selfie with Jenny, and a playful snap of the trio pulling silly faces beside the pool. Fans rushed to the comments as reported by Hull Live, with some gushing over them such as: "Best team on Gogglebox. Fab pics of the three of you." One fan exclaimed how great the trio looked, saying: "Looking great - all 3 of you. Happy Pride and have a great week! ! !". Eager for their return to the show, another admirer said: "Can't wait for you to be back on Gogglebox, the best." Aother was pleased to see Ray's image: "Nice to put a face to Ray, enjoy bet it's roasting." Ray, who has shied away from the public eye during Jenny's decade-long appearance on Gogglebox, made a rare appearance in these photographs. Jenny and Lee's antics have become a favourite among viewers, from Jenny's devoted note-taking in he notebook during Line of Duty to Lee's constant prank-pulling, although their off-screen lives have stayed largely private. Gogglebox stars Jenny and Lee have shared an unbreakable bond since they first crossed paths in 1994. Their friendship was first cemented during the days when Jenny was the landlady of The Crown Inn pub in Paull and Lee was one of her regulars. Jenny recollected their early days in an interview with Ireland's Big Issue magazine: "Lee was a customer at my pub, The Crown Inn in Paull. He became a regular in 1994 and used to come in pretty much every night with his partner and we were friends from the off. We've been best friends ever since." Lee, responding to Jenny's trip down memory lane, joked: "I wish I'd never gone in the pub – it cost me a fortune. When I first met her, she had a perm and I can remember thinking, 'She needs a haircut.'". Reflecting on their enduring friendship, he added: "We were firm friends immediately. I don't think we've ever had an argument. We're too placid to argue. She makes me laugh too much for me to ever fall out with her."

I forked out £2k on a blackout privacy fence – but I forgot about an important step & now everyone can still see in
Trolls said she should've known neighbours would still be able to see in OH NO I forked out £2k on a blackout privacy fence – but I forgot about an important step & now everyone can still see in Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NO ONE wants nosey neighbours being able to peep into their garden, especially during the hot summer months. That's why this homeowner decided to fork out to get some privacy trees installed in her garden. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The homeowner fumed on TikTok after forking out for the trees Credit: tiktok/@jennymarriner 2 Some people said the trees might work next year, but not everyone was so sure Credit: tiktok/@jennymarriner Jenny Marriner took to TikTok to show off the trees, but she made a big mistake. Despite paying £2,000 for the trees, which were allegedly sold as privacy trees, Jenny didn't realise she'd have to wait for them to grow in to reap their full benefits. "When you pay £2k for some 'privacy trees' but they have about four leaves on each one," she captioned the clip. In the viral video she showed the trees, which had been freshly plated along the garden fence. But rather than mature trees with all the leaves she was expecting, the trees offered little in the way of privacy. But after sharing her fury online people told Jenny she was foolish to expect more. "You should have paid £4k for mature trees then," one person slammed in the comments. Another agreed: "You need to give it a few years, be patients, it will be worth the wait." But some thought it was unlikely the trees would live that long. "Roots are going to destroy the rendered block work in a few years, if they survive that long not being planted in the ground," one said. I hate my new build garden being overlooked so found a 5 METRE privacy fence to block out nosy neighbours for under £30 Meanwhile, others were much more hopeful for Jenny's purchase, and encouraged her to wait it out. "Container grown trees don't grow much the first season. Wait until next year, should be better," one said. If you do want to add some privacy to your garden, these tips will help. Paul Parker, CEO of plants and perennials specialists J. Parker's, said privacy can be achieved using plants. Block sight lines An arbour, pergola or gazebo are all easy ways of increasing privacy if you're overlooked by upper windows. Cover any of these structures with beautiful climbing perennials or trailing plants to truly create your own natural private space. arieties such as clematis, climbing hydrangea, and wisteria, are great for adding privacy to your garden, also these climbing perennials are flowering vines that will come back year after year. Cover up fences with evergreen climbers If you want to disguise fences, balcony railings or rooftop spaces, evergreen climbers are a fantastic solution. Star Jasmine would be my top choice, it's a hardy, vigorous grower with glossy evergreen foliage, so it's the perfect all-year-round cover. In summer, it bursts into fragrant, star-shaped flowers that fill your garden with an enticing scent. Add bushy potted plants Growing bushy potted plants helps give you the cover you need, and they're mobile so you can move them around whenever you like. It's an easy way to improve privacy that also adds a good dose of foliage to your outdoor space. Choose plants that have a good width spread to grow a privacy wall of foliage.
