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.
