Cordwainer Cordwainer A cordwainer () is a shoemaker who makes new shoes from new leather. The cordwainer's trade can be contrasted with the cobbler's trade, according to a tradition in Britain that restricted cobblers to repairing shoes. This usage distinction is not universally observed, as the word "cobbler" is widely used for tradespersons who make or repair shoes. A major British 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.
