About Aldo
Aldo is a family company founded in Montréal in 1972 by Aldo Bensadoun. It sells shoes, boots, bags and accessories, and has grown from a Montreal business into a name known in many countries.
It suits shoppers looking for on-trend footwear and accessories for everyday wear, work or a night out. Montrealers often stop in for a new pair of boots before the slush season or a pair of sandals when spring finally arrives. It is a good reminder that some of the brands you see in malls around the world started right here in Montreal.
