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 Vision
That we can be stylish and still stay real. That we can be humble souls with generous hearts. That we can be brave enough to stand for something big.
And, that we can always have fun. This is our foundation. The source of love we infuse into every shoe, handbag, accessory we make.
And so much more…
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.

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.

Our Future
Our CEO, David Bensadoun, often speaks about his obsession to make a big company feel small – a place that feels more human and casual with everyone closer together, treating each other with kindness and respect. It’s a powerful feeling rooted in our values and it resonates in the work we do and what we build as a team.
