- Before the invention of machines and factories it was necessary to make all the needs of life at home or locally. Shoe-making was a very important trade and every locality had its "cobbler". Families whose ancestors were cobblers are still called "cobblers" although they have nothing to do with the making of shoes, themselves.The cobbler had many-shaped and sized "lasts" or blocks in the shape of a man's foot. He cut off the leather by means of shapes, and so he made the "sole".
