LIFE OF A shoemaker IN MEDIEVAL TIME

Shoemakers were often common laborers who made shoes. Within their local area, they could find the tools needed and the cowhide to be prepared for the shoe leather or get it from the tanner.
​A shoemaker would form the leather around a block of wood or metal that had been prepared in the shape of a foot, sew it together, and then nail the result to a sole.
Sometimes wood was used not only for the sole but for the entire shoe (also called “clogs”).
​Sometimes for the rich, the uppers might have been made of fine cloths decorated with embroidery.

Cobblers
When people were too poor to buy new shoes, they would go to cobblers who would sell second-hand shoes they had repaired, or they would buy shoes made from second-hand leather. Often the very poor would walk barefoot.
