What is a Shoe Cobbler?
A shoe cobbler is a craftsman (or woman) who specializes in repairing shoes. Traditionally, cobblers also made shoes, although most modern cobblers focus on repair and restoration, not manufacture of new shoes. Many communities around the world have cobblers, and in areas where a shoe cobbler is not practicing, people can ship or mail shoes for repair and restoration. Using the services of a cobbler can generate substantial savings, as a cobbler can repair a pair of shoes for the fraction of the cost of a replacement pair.
