There are many variations on this cobbler proverb, but here is the oldest I can find, reported to be from John Heywood's Proverbs part i chapter xi, published in 1546 (and quoted later by Richard Graves in The Spiritual Quixote, published in 1773):

But who is wurs shod, than the shoemakers wyfe, With shops full of newe shapen shoes all hir lyfe?

A couple of similar quotes are:

A plumber's house always has a dripping tap.

A blacksmith's home only has wooden spoons.
