About Us
Five decades ago, a young Aldo Bensadoun (or as he is affectionately known, Mr. B) set out to realize his dream of becoming the best shoe retailer in the world and the rest is history.

Our History
Our founder, Mr. B, was born the son of a shoe merchant, grandson of a cobbler and believed in more than just selling shoes. His eponymous line of shoes made its debut on six feet of department store shelf space in 1972 and in 1978, the first ALDO freestanding store opened its door in Montreal, a city he fell in love with. Ever since, he was always determined to create a new kind of business.
Our Products
When it comes to footwear, handbags and accessories, we do it all. Yes, everything! From our standout design and development savvy (it’s all on-trend), to extensive sourcing network, it’s our specialty on the digital, retail and wholesale level.
Our Values
We design footwear and accessories, but what we ultimately aim to make is a difference. By not just making things that look good, but by doing things that do good. By welcoming, celebrating, and showing love to everyone, everywhere. We believe in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout our organization, and we are proud to celebrate the social, cultural, and political achievements of all communities. Our values of Love, Respect and Integrity resonate in the work we do and what we build as a team.
