The Cordwainer
The word cordwainer comes from the Spanish 'cordovaner', a worker of cordovan leather from Cordoba. It is thought the word had Moorish origins from the time of their occupation of the region.
In most of northern Europe the Germanic word skomaker was widely used, hence the English use of the word shoemaker.
