The strong odor of leather and dyes bothered some workers. Shoe repair employees generally worked forty hours a week.
Shoe repairers spent most of the working day on their feet. Some mechanical ability and manual dexterity was required. Those who dealed with customers should be patient and courteous.

They must have dexterity. They need to be able to manipulate small parts like eyelets with their fingers and have the larger motor skills to operate equipment and assemble the shoes. Finally, they need the endurance to work long hours while maintaining quality standards.]]> 2019-03-14 08:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/marleneee69/45408xwbhfve/wish/341215851 Craft skills marleneee69 https://padlet.com/marleneee69/45408xwbhfve/wish/341218516 Shoemakers constructed and repaired shoes, including cutting out patterns and sewing pieces together, whether by hand or machine.
