It’s the end of an era! The trusty Ugg is getting a major makeover

by

It may be some time since you last rocked your pair of Uggs, but for many years, they were the go-to boot for the vast majority of us.

Slouching round? Opt for your Uggs. Rocking a denim mini? Uggs, obvs! Sunday stroll in your skinnies? Pass the Uggs.

And while we've now graduated from the Aussie export, we've still a special place in our hearts for the boots made famous by Paris Hilton, Pamela Anderson and a whole host of other blonde, doe-eyes socialites.

So when news broke that the Ugg Classic was being removed from shelves, we held a brief moment of silence before realising it was simply going on to bigger and better things.

According to Cosmopolitan, the good people behind the Ugg boot have decided that their classic style needs a major update, and are intending to launch a more weather-durable version known as  – wait for it  – the Ugg Classic II.

Commenting on the move, Dave Powers, President and CEO of Deckers Brands, said: "This is without a doubt the biggest launch UGG has ever undertaken in its 38 year history."

"Updating a product as iconic as the Classic was a big decision," he continued. " However, after listening to what our consumers want we knew it was time."

With manufacturers adding a variety of features which will make Ugg-wearing comfy no matter what the weather, you can expect the new version to set you back a little more than the original, but hey it's worth it, right?!
