Footprint sizes in Manor Lordsvary by patch and (for burgage plots) by how you draw them in-game. Use the planner's drag-to-size tool to match what you see on your map — we don't hardcode any dimensions here.
Where to place the cobbler's workshop
- •Build it as an upgrade on a burgage plot, so place it where the plot has a backyard for the workshop extension.
- •Keep it near your leather supply, whether from a Tannery or trade, so material does not travel far.
- •Position it with good market access so finished shoes reach the stalls and families that need them.
- •Cluster it with other artisan plots to form a craft district that storage and the market can serve efficiently.
- •Ensure the road connection is clean so both incoming leather and outgoing shoes move without detours.
Strategy & timing
- •Build it when your burgage plots are climbing toward the level that demands shoes, so supply meets the new need.
- •Make sure leather production or a steady leather import is in place first, or the cobbler sits idle.
- •One workshop can serve a meaningful number of households; add another only if shoe demand or trade ambitions outgrow it.
Common mistakes
- ×Building the cobbler with no leather source, leaving it with nothing to work.
- ×Placing it far from the market so finished shoes struggle to reach families.
- ×Expecting it to satisfy a need the town has not actually reached yet, wasting the plot upgrade early.

Frequently asked
What does the Cobbler need to make shoes?
It needs leather. That typically comes from a Tannery processing hides, or from imports via trade, so secure a leather supply before relying on the cobbler.
Why do I need a Cobbler?
Shoes are one of the goods families want as their burgage plots advance. Supplying shoes helps plots reach higher levels and raises your settlement's overall living standard.
Can I sell surplus shoes?
Yes. If you produce more shoes than your families consume, the surplus can be sold through trade for regional wealth, making the cobbler a potential income source.
