UGG Boots have always caused a divide amongst people for their controversial style. Some people love their snug, suede design, while others just consider them UGG-ly.
Having said this, the new knee-high UGG boot design unveiled at the Men’s Fashion week show which debuted last week, has caused the internet to crash and react in horror.
The classic Ugg boot has undergone a high-fashion makeover in partnership with the French brand Y/Project. The label rolled out a collaborative collection with Ugg featuring a slouchy, over-the-knee version of the brand’s infamous shearling lined boot.
“Putting on Uggs is like putting your foot in a warm pot of butter, and I thought why not elevate that and immerse your full legs,” Y/Project creative director Glenn Martens described the look, according to Vogue. “So we decided to design an Ugg boot that climbs up to the crotch and covers the whole leg.”
Of course, the Internet was quick to react to the reveal. “Friends, I regret to inform you that thigh-high Uggs exist now,” wrote Twitter user Kim Bhasin. “I’m sorry that you have to see this.”
Others pointed out that if tall, slim models can’t pull them off, and there’s no hope for the average person.  

In fact, we don’t think we’ve scrolled past even one slightly positive tweet about this new, controversial design.
Whether this design will eventually take off, time will only tell. But if the public’s reactions are anything to go by, then the stylists at UGG are seriously going to have to re-think their so-called fashionable footwear!
