The Concise Shoemaking Dictionary is an illustrated glossary of shoemaking technology. Like all technical subjects, shoemaking has it’s own jargon. Even just in the English language, however, the terminology used does vary.

This British publication also covers international English usage and especially American terminology. Where appropriate, it uses excellent thumbnail-type illustrations to explain and enlighten the text.
