A cobbler, also known as a shoemaker or cordwainer, repairs and restores footwear. It’s one of the world’s oldest professions that peaked long ago but is still going strong. Originally cobblers made custom shoes. Today, they spend their workdays repairing, restoring, and improving shoes, boots, sandals, clogs, moccasins, loafers, and stilettos. Fixing zippers, belts, luggage, gloves, handbags, buckles, and other leather products is also common work for cobblers. Some cobblers also sell shoe accessories.
