They cut out the leather pieces according to the size of the shoe they wanted and then they sew the pieces together. Small nails or pegs were used to fasten the sole to the uppers. And the early shoes didn't have a left and right to them, they were the same for both feet.

There were shoemakers or cobblers who measured each person's feet and carved lasts [templates] out of wood with knives. Then they cut the leather with knives, and sewed the pieces together with needle and thread, punching the holes with awls.
