A cordwainer is a shoemaker who specializes in crafting new shoes from new leather. The term is historically distinct from "cobbler," who traditionally repaired and resoled existing footwear, often using old leather. Cordwainers often use traditional hand-sewn techniques, and the term is associated with skilled craftsmanship and the use of high-quality leather.
