This page lists entries with names made up by the editor of shoemaking.wiki, rather than heard from a maker or seen in a written source.
Sometimes I make up name to distinguish meanings of ambiguous terms with than can mean more than one thing, so each specific meaning can have its own entry with its own name. Sometimes I simply fall into using my own name for something, so I can index sources for learning.
If you know a name for any of these subjects from your trade practice, or seen from a published source, please e-mail me about it!
