At Y/Project’s Wednesday show at Paris Men’s Fashion Week, the label rolled out a collaborative collection with Ugg featuring a slouchy, over-the-knee version of the brand’s infamous shearling lined boot. The boots will [reportedly](https://nypost.com/2018/01/17/thigh-high-ugg-boots-now-exist-and-they-cost-over-1k/) retail for up anywhere from $270 to $1,380 and will be available in fall 2018. “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_](https://www.vogue.com/article/uggs-yproject-collaboration-at-paris-mens-fashion-week-fall-2018). “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.” > [](https://twitter.com/KimBhasin/status/953724430093639681) > [](https://twitter.com/starrKelli1/status/954050813781053440) > [](https://twitter.com/%5FSydney%5FCooper%5F/status/954035267077312513) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5108051/thigh-high-ugg-boots/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5108051/thigh-high-ugg-boots/"},"headline":"The Internet Is Coming to Terms With Thigh-High Ugg Boots","datePublished":"2018-01-18T18:37:46.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-12T22:48:13.000Z","description":"\"Putting on Uggs is like putting your foot in a warm pot of butter\"","url":"https://time.com/5108051/thigh-high-ugg-boots/","keywords":["Newsfeed","fashion","shoes"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltca23a9b49dec86c2/6988f8a7e76ad27755630a9a/screen-shot-2018-01-18-at-12-01-08-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltca23a9b49dec86c2/6988f8a7e76ad27755630a9a/screen-shot-2018-01-18-at-12-01-08-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2018-01-18 at 12.01.08 PM","caption":"A model walks the runway during the Y/Project Menswear Fall/Winter 2018-2019 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on January 17, 2018.","creditText":"Victor VIRGILE/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5108051/thigh-high-ugg-boots/","name":"The Internet Is Coming to Terms With Thigh-High Ugg Boots"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The Most Expensive Shoes You Can Buy Right Now MONEY","description":"These are the most expensive shoes you can buy right now.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/MrclZ3Ip/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-04-10T17:56:49.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/MrclZ3Ip.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5108051/thigh-high-ugg-boots/","duration":"PT1M19S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5108051/thigh-high-ugg-boots/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
