Dave Page (born 1939) is considered the world's leading expert on mountaineering footwear history, as well as an expert cobbler (a hiking boot repairman). [1] [2] [3] He is a former history professor at the University of Washington and is a cobbler based in Seattle, Washington, United States. He has been resoling mountain boots since 1968.
