Established in 1838 in Pirmasens, Germany, Peter Kaiser holds the distinction of being Europe’s oldest shoe factory, a heritage that defined its reputation for precision fit and classic elegance for nearly two centuries. Historically celebrated for its "Made in Germany" pumps and boots, the brand became synonymous with a sophisticated, mature aesthetic—footwear designed for occasion and office wear that didn't compromise on comfort. Following a period of insolvency and a 2021 acquisition by Caprice (part of the Wortmann Group), Peter Kaiser has undergone a significant structural transformation.
