Shoemaker

Cordwainer by trade

A shoemaker is a person who makes or repairs shoes.

The traditional craft involves cutting leather, shaping soles, and stitching uppers to create footwear by hand.

While mass production has largely replaced handmade shoes, shoemakers still work as cobblers repairing worn footwear or as artisans crafting custom and luxury shoes: The shoemaker resoled my favorite boots.
