UGGs have stood the test of time.
Australian surfer Brian Smith first created UGGs in 1978 after moving to California to pursue a footwear line. The first style was called the Classic Boot — and by the mid-'80s the brand became popular. However, it really took off in the early '00s, when celebs started sporting them.
Well, it's now the fall of 2024, and the new UGG arrivals are a viral conversation on TikTok.
People are sharing their honest thoughts about them all over the platform.
While several new styles have dropped, the most common one that people seem shocked over is the high-heeled boot called the New Heights Platform Xtra.

If you're also having trouble picturing one of those, here ya go:
Hooves and camel toes are another comparison.
As well as orthopedic shoes.
Oh, and if you've never seen The Chronicles of Narnia, people say they remind them of something Mr. Tumnus would wear.
This is what Mr. Tumnus looks like:
Another new release called the Classic Ultra Mini New Heights is also getting big reactions:
And even though they seem to be preferred over the Pumped Slide...
The consensus seems simple: Most people just want classic UGGs.
Especially since '90s/'00s fashion is back in.
Either way, one thing remains clear:
So, do you love them or not??? Please tell us what you think of the new UGGs in the comments!
