At Gerry 1958, we are passionate about the art of classic shoemaking. But did you know that there are different specializations in this field? Today we're going to explore the difference between a shoemaker and a multi-service cobbler. Ready to discover these two facets of our profession? Let's go!

Cobbler Bootmaker: The Artisan of Made-to-Measure and Sustainable Shoes

A Cobbler and shoemaker is a true artist. Here are some of its main features:

  • Custom manufacturing : The shoemaker specializes in the creation of custom shoes. Each pair is designed to fit the customer's feet perfectly.
  • High-quality materials : Using only the best leathers and materials, the bootmaker guarantees shoes that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also durable.
  • Attention to detail : From the choice of leather to the final sewing, each step is carried out with artisanal precision.
  • Personalized Consultation : The process begins with an in-depth consultation to understand the client's specific needs, preferences and measurements.
  • Specialized repairs : Whether replacing worn soles, repairing broken heels or sewing torn seams, the shoemaker takes care of everything shoe-related.
  • Care and cleaning : Do your shoes, boots and high heels need a little love? The shoemaker can clean, wax and maintain your items to restore their original shine.
