We all have different types of jobs, so even the type of shoes we wear to work will depend on the type of work we do and the conditions from which we work from. A person who spends most of their time doing office white collar work wears different work shoes from a person who spends most of their time in the field or rough working conditions like factories or garages. So, on this list, you will find different work shoes and I have catered for both office people and field work people.
