FIL: Isang pook o pagawaan kung saan ginagawa, itinitinda, o kinukumpuni ang mga sapatos.
EN: Shoe store, cobbler's shop
This is the OG shoe store, not the cool sneaker shops in the mall, but the place where your lolo would get his leather shoes fixed. Think of it as the 'talyer' (workshop) for your kicks. It's now a bit of a vintage term.
From Spanish 'zapatería' (shoe shop).
ROOT MEANING: Shoe(s)
This term is less common in modern conversation, often replaced by 'tindahan ng sapatos' (shoe store) or the specific name of a shop. It specifically implies a place for making or repairing shoes, not just selling them.
