Founded in 1998 in Outremont, Atelier du Cordonnier was born from a simple belief: a well-made shoe deserves to be repaired, not thrown away. Roger Simard learned the trade from his father and has carried on an artisan tradition where every gesture matters.
Nearly three decades later, the workshop remains true to its tools, its carefully chosen leathers, and a clientele that keeps coming back — generation after generation — because here, quality and durability always come before speed.
A philosophy of service.
Roger, cobbler since 1998.
Roger learned the trade from his father and carries on the artisan tradition in his Outremont workshop, where quality and durability come before speed. More than 25 years later, he brings the same care to every pair that crosses his bench.
In Roger's hands: selected leathers, hand-honed tools, and the habit of clearly explaining what can — or can't — be saved.
