A cordwainer is a
shoemaker who makes new shoes from new leather. The cordwainer's trade has been
distinguished from the cobbler's trade, according to a tradition in Britain
that restricted cobblers to repairing shoes. That said, the word cobbler has
become widely used for folk who make or repair shoes The Oxford English
Dictionary says that the word cordwainer is archaic, "still used in the
names of guilds, for example, the Cordwainers' Company"; but its
definition of cobbler mentions only mending, reflecting the older distinction.
