DESC: This is the skill of shoe making. Footwear for many races is very important to prevent damage to the feet due to long hours of walking. In some cultures footwear is a statement of fashion and wealth. The more levels you have in this skill the more money you can request for your work. This skill also gives you a knowledge about footwear, materials used, quality of make and maybe who made it. A cobblers workshop will improve the quality and speed of manufacture. Large cities often have these shops while small towns may depend on a traveling cobbler or a local tanner that makes basic footwear.
