When some people think of Ugg boots, they have flashbacks to “The O.C.,” “Laguna Beach,” Paris Hilton saying “that’s hot” and all of the other good things that came out of the early 2000s but now they are making their comeback in 2020.
The ultra-comfy boots are continuing to stand the test of time and they are back again according to models Emily Ratajkowski and Joan Smalls who have been spotted wearing the Classic Ultra Mini Ugg boots.
Ratajkowski was photographed downtown Manhattan in a pair of Uggs and combined her look with a sleek leather jacket, neon hoodie and shorts which has us wondering if we should purchase a pair.

On top of that - on Wednesday, Lyst announced that celebrities aren’t the only one who are reconsidering this trend.
“Ugly boots are replacing ugly sandals post-summer, demand for UGG boots is growing 24% week-on-week. Over the past month, there have been more than 41,000 searches for the brand,” a Lyst release revealed, citing the Fluffette Slipper, the Fluff Yeah slides as well as the Classic Ultra Mini boots have been amongst the top searched for products.
Ugg boots come in all different heights, colours and styles but every pair has that undeniable comfort and ultra-soft lining on the inside to make it feel like you’re walking on a cloud. You can create your own style with Uggs by tucking them into your skinny jeans, pairing them with shorts or wearing black leggings for the ultimate cozy outfit.
The brand has endured decades of compliments and criticism which has resulted in expanding its product line to include clothing, fuzzy slippers and outerwear.
Whether you wore Uggs in highschool or you wear the brand today, take a look at these three popular, comfortable styles below.

What are customers saying?
This version of the beloved original Uggs has a 4.4-star rating, with one customer saying the boots “do not disappoint!”
“These are the first pair of Uggs I have ever purchased, and they do not disappoint! I am short (5'0") so the taller classic Uggs have always felt a little awkward or bulky for me,” says the happy customer. “The ultra mini is just what I've been looking for, and I've been wearing them daily (even though it's still hot out). I'm considering a second purchase! Definitely worth every penny!
Another customer says they “love the new shaft height” of this style of Uggs.
“Works perfectly with dresses for a transitional look and will be cute and cozy with jeans as well,” adds the five-star review.
One customer said they own many pairs of Ugg boots but this one could quickly become their favourite.
“I have several pairs of Uggs boots and I love them. This is my first pair of Ultra Mini boots and they might be my favourite. I also love the colour antipope,” share the customer.
