	Shoemaking and Tailoring in Civil War Winter Quarters
		Shoemaking and Tailoring in Civil War Winter Quarters
		A number of shoemakers in the different regiments, seventeen I think, were encouraged to send home--and in some instances were given leave to go--for their tools, and were put to work repairing shoes, being exempted from guard and other routine camp duty, but ready to fall in with their commands on any call to arms.
		The shoe-shops were a separate camp of tents, near brigade headquarters and under our immediate supervision, guarded by sentinels, and no person was allowed to visit them or to carry his shoes to be mended without a pass and order from his company and regimental commanders, approved by the adjutant or inspector general.

	Footwear of the Middle Ages - Glossary of Footwear Terminology
		His knowledge of post-medieval shoemaking technologies, particularly with regards to such ancient experts such as Garsault, is unequalled, and his knowledge of medieval and pre-medieval shoemaking technologies is well above most.
		Just as a note, as there is often a wide divergence between the terms used by modern shoemakers and the terms used by modern archeologists and calceologists.
		We know very few of the terms used by medieval shoemakers, and fewer still those terms used by English shoemakers (since this document is in English).

		The fairy knew of the shoemaker's problems from listening to his prayers, but she sat and listened to the shoemaker explain his problem.

	Boot and Shoemaker
		The London shoemaker's guild – the Worshipful Company of Cordwainers – helped finance Captain John Smith's 1607 expedition to Virginia, and Smith (inducted into the guild himself) was honored with a statue in London.
		The first shoemakers arrived in America at Jamestown in 1610, and the trade was thriving as early as 1616.
		With strange-sounding names such as "helling sticks," "petty-boys," and "St. Hugh's Bones," a shoemaker's complete tool kit included relatively few items and could be purchased for about the same price as a common pair of shoes –; the same as one day's wages for a journeyman shoemaker working for Wilson.

		He didn't say whether among them there were shoemakers, but shoemakers were needed, and sooner rather than later.
		In any event, shoemakers invested money in the Jamestown venture at least as early as 1609, as did their guild, and shoemaking was among the industries the Virginia Company of London worked to establish before the firm collapsed in 1624.
		Still no shoemakers named, but in the Spanish archives is information that, by early 1609, the company was recruiting them.

		Lasting impressions: shoemaking is a highly skilled job of engineering and adhesives continue to play a vital part in the development of footwear.
		Shoemaking is a series of operations, both mechanical and manual, which converts flat pieces of material into a three dimensional object--a shoe, sandal or boot.
		Modern shoemaking is appreciably simpler and essentially consists of the assembly of bought-out precision parts such as uppers, sole units, toe puffs, counters, insoles and stiffeners.

	Hampton Union Local News: Seabrook's shoemaking past part of presentation
		The First Adams Shoe Co., shown circa 1921, is among the photographs expected to be featured in the slide show "Farming, Fishing and Shoemaking" at 7 p.m.
		SEABROOK - Farming, fishing and shoemaking, the foundation of Seabrook’s economy for decades, is the focus of a new slide show by town historian Eric Small.
		Shoemaking became a cottage industry in the "ten-footers" until larger shoe factories moved to town to take advantage of the skilled labor, Small said.

		Shoemaking equipment was produced by United Shoe Machinery Corp., whose rebuilt headquarters are a local landmark in Beverly.
		But the industry was challenged by the emergence of Midwestern meatpacking plants, which produced leather that could be transported on an expanding rail network to shoemakers nationwide.

	Railroads and capital: money, credit, and the industrialization of shoemaking - Special Invited Issue: Money, Trust, ...
		The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of railroads in the formation of capital for the initial industrialization of shoemaking in New England prior to the Civil War.
		Although the role of railroads in the industrialization of the United States has been widely discussed, including their role in consolidating capital resources for their own use, the manner in which industrialization has generally been discussed casts less attention on the role played by railroads in capital formation for the industrialization of other industries.
		It is precisely this type of course, and capital formation for shoemaking as an unintended consequence of railroad building, that this paper seeks to address.

	ŁOSICE Yizkor Book: Social Movements
		Around the year of 1920 the first legalized professional association of shoemakers and shtepers (sewers of the uppers of shoes) was established.
		The entire shoemaking production was run by a minimal number of people, who dictated the wages to the sub‑contractors, and those who worked by them.
		The professional union of shoemakers fell apart, and the employers used this discord to willingly oppress the masses.

	Mass Moments: Metzeliger Demonstrates Revolutionary Machine
		Shoes were made to order, and shoemaking was a small-scale, seasonal operation, based in the home.
		This began to change around 1750, when shoemakers in Essex County formed small groups that worked together in "ten-footers," as the ten-foot-long outbuildings were called.
		They purchased leather on a large scale, reorganized shoemaking into a series of mechanized tasks performed in factories, and then marketed the finished shoes all over the United States.

	Hampton Union Local News: Shoemaking in the Old Home Days
		Small was to have included shoemaking in his slide show last year on local livelihoods, but in researching the topic he realized it needed a night all its own.
		Most Seabrook residents in the late 1800s were employed at one time or another making shoes, either for family use, as jobbers for the mills, or by the major manufacturers themselves, Small explained.
		By then, shoemaking in New England was past its prime, manufacturing having gone overseas.

	EU's Anti-dumping Measures Short-sighted: Ministry -- china.org.cn
		The European shoemaking industry has lost its comparative advantages due to high labor costs and a lack of investment in technology.
		In recent years shoemaking companies have been moving out of the EU, impacting employment, the official said.

		And, although Bill accepts custom shoemaking which conforms solely to fashion desires, the need for fit and comfort takes preeminence in the footwear he crafts.
		Approximately 80 percent of the footwear we craft is for medical patients needing accommodation because of degenerative foot conditions, or as a result of accidents.
