Well, the answer to that question depends on what you do and how often you have to stand or walk. If you are primarily driving and not walking, then likely no, work boots would not be necessary. However, if you are regularly on your feet delivering packages or picking up items from customers, then it is highly recommended to wear boots that are both sturdy and waterproof. If you are not careful, you could end up with blisters, which would be a real pain. These boots are also good for delivery drivers who must stand for a long time or carry heavy items on and off their trucks.
