Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how sabotier appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Au temps jadis, il y avait au hameau de Boschfort, […], un sabotier qui vivait pauvrement, avec ses trois fils, de la vente de ses sabots.
Le métier de sabotier ne vaut plus ce qu’il valait autrefois parce que la jeunesse d’aujourd’hui est trop fière et porte des souliers. Le Père capucin raconta que, dans son pays, l’Auvergne, il n’en était pas encore ainsi. M. le curé dit que, lorsqu’il était chez lui, il portait toujours des sabots. Il ne mettait ses souliers que pour sortir.
