One clubber who was savvy has shared how he got bouncers to let him in after they had rejected his white trainers.
Rachael Silvester, 26, shared a video on TikTok on Tuesday showing her unnamed male friend getting into a Manchester club after thinking up the idea to make a DIY pair of £595 Balenciaga Sock Trainers – which are popular with celebs like Kylie Jenner, Gwyneth Paltrow and Cardi B.
The Manchester club bouncers had repeatedly rejected the friends, so they escaped with a group of buddies to solve the problem. Rachael joked that it was a new club requirement and a life hack.
The hilarious footage shows them huddled together outside, while they put on black socks to cover the white trainers of the man. He can be seen laughing while his friend wraps his black socks around his trainer and ankle.

Funny video of the two friends outside huddled with each other as they wore black socks over white trainers. He can be seen laughing while his friend wraps his black socks around his trainer and ankle.
The caption that runs across the video reads, “When the bouncers refused to let you in because your white trainers were on display.”
Video shows then the man having a beer in the club with friends, after he tricked the uninformed bouncers.
You can see that he is pointing towards his fake black socks before the clip ends.
Rachael shared the following: “We went with a big group of friends to celebrate a friend’s birthday.
“The guy in trainers attempted to gain entry into the club but was turned away by the security guards who said they wouldn’t let anyone wearing them in.
We didn’t want him missing out and having to leave, so somebody thought of covering his feet with black socks.
The caption that runs across the video reads, “When the bouncers refused to let you in because your white trainers were on display.”
“My friend Emily removed her socks, and she stretched them across his trainers.
“We all queuing up for entry and were let in by the bouncers.”
This video received more than 1.9 million views, and has been liked 102,000 times. After being inspired by the idea, 500 people commented on the video.

This video has had more than 1.9million views, 102,000 likes and 500 comments. People were impressed with the art idea.
Another wrote, “That’s really mad.”
Another commentator said: “I didn’t get it. It was like I had been told to stay out because my shoes were too tight.
“They were not trainers. They were shoes.”
Another joked that they believed they were Balenciaga trainers.
The Speed Trainer by Balenciaga was first introduced in November 2016. Since then, it has become a must-have accessory for sporty style. It is worn daily by many fashion icons, A-listers and celebrities, such as Future, Hailey Baldwin and Kylie Jenner.
The sneaker, which comes in a variety of colors, essentially looks like a slip on sport sock with the Balenciaga logo up one side and a thick rubber sole.
They are still a very fashionable shoe, despite the fact that they have a slightly unusual silhouette.
Nike, Zara, Free People and Free People all have adopted the knitted sock sneaker design.
