cobbler
skomakares läst - cobbler (eng.) - Most shoemakers use a last—made traditionally of iron or wood, but now often of wood—on which to form the shoe. Some lasts are straight, while curved lasts come in pairs: one for left shoes, the other for right shoes.

: I don't wish to be impolite mihau, but I'm afraid your answer is cobblers. A cobbler is a person who makes or repairs shoes.
