History of Peter Kaiser

To this day, Peter Kaiser has enjoyed success for nearly two hundred years, following its establishment in 1838. As Europe’s oldest known shoe manufacturer, the company was founded in Pirmasens, Germany by entrepreneur Peter Kaiser. After just five years within the shoe manufacturing industry, Kaiser began exporting shoes over Europe and worldwide; thus enabling the company to obtain the status of being one of the first ever shoe manufacturers to achieve an international status.

From day one, the Peter Kaiser brand has prided itself on not only providing customers with creative and innovative new ideas but ensuring these are carried out with precise craftsmanship, in order to continue delivering their customers with footwear of the highest of qualities. A clear sign that the shoes aren’t simply mass produced wherever possible is the continued production of the majority of their shoes in Germany. What’s more, their factory is still located in Pirmasens, where the initial factory was founded, enabling Peter Kaiser to remain true to its roots. Around 750 employees are producing a million pairs of exceptional shoes, with 60% of these shoes being exported worldwide.

To ensure that their footwear is of the highest quality, all of the materials used within their footwear are carefully selected, to guarantee that no blemishes or other marks are apparent on the surface of the leather uppers. All of the leather is subjected to tests to assure it is both wear and pollution durable. Additionally, all other materials used within the production of the shoes are thoroughly tested for the same wearable features. The core of the leather is carefully used for parts of the shoe that will be subjected to the most wear and tear; e.g. the lining.

Once a last has been created, a sample shoe will be formed and tested to ensure it supports and contours correctly to the foot for exceptional comfort. Thus, if any changes are needed, these will be made before the shoes go into the final production stages.

The time and care that is dedicated within Peter Kaiser production, allows them to produce shoes that are not only of the highest quality, but offer the wearer a shoe of exceptional comfort and style. Specialising in ladies shoes, Peter Kaiser have shoes for any occasion, from stylish casual pumps to elegant patent ankle boots. However, they have also extended their range to men, including both boots and shoes which continue the quality seen within the ladies selection.
