Cordwainer (Shoemaker) Paul Mathews, 90, hand sows leather to the sole while making a custom pair of shoes during the annual Contemporary Crafts Market at the Santa Monica Civic on Friday, June 6, 2008. Paul learned to make shoes from his father when he was only 12 years old and has been making them ever since. He can make  two pairs of shoes per day which sell for $300.00 to 500.00 depending on the leather. Each pair is custom-built based on careful measurements of both feet. Fashioned from the finest leathers & free from synthetic materials and toxic glues typical in the shoe industry.
