Aldo used to be one of my preferred shoe shops but they have fallen off. They have become way overpriced for average footwear (e.g. £170 for basic faux leather boots). The delivery service is more dis... See more

Unacceptable delivery delay.

Ten days after placing an order with Aldo I'm still waiting for the goods to arrive! Allegedly they're being delivered by Evri, whose customer services have been in touch to say they're investigating the delay. But there's still no definite indication when I might expect them. This is totally unacceptable and Aldo need to consider whether they should be dealing with a company who deal with their customers in this way.
Update - Evri finally admitted 5 days ago that they had lost the parcel and said they had informed Aldo. Total silence from Aldo until I contacted them yesterday! They have now agreed to refund my payment.
Lesson learned?......avoid the Aldo/Evri combination in future.

Aldo is selling dangerous, defective goods to customers.

If I could give Aldo zero stars, I absolutely would. I purchased a handbag from their Stratford store during a sale (25% off), not realising it was faulty. The emblem had come loose, leaving sharp pins exposed inside the bag. When I reached in, I was pricked and injured by these pins.
I returned to the Stratford store to show both the defect and my injury. The store manager told me there was nothing she could do regarding compensation and directed me to customer service instead. Rather than addressing the issue, she even encouraged me to buy another bag.
After reporting the problem online and sending photos clearly showing the dangerous defect, I received an unbelievable response from an escalation manager. They offered me a “complimentary delivery code” so I could purchase the same faulty bag again, claiming it was still in their warehouse. It felt like my complaint wasn’t being taken seriously at all.
I was then asked by customer service to provide even more photos, which I did promptly. Since then, I’ve had no further response.
I had always thought Aldo was a reputable brand, but this experience suggests otherwise. Selling defective goods that can cause injury, combined with poor and dismissive customer service, is completely unacceptable.

Hi Linda,

We are very sorry to hear about your experience and have carefully reviewed your case.

Firstly, we would like to sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused, and we are also sorry to hear about the discomfort and injury you experienced relating to the ALDO logo on the bag.

We can confirm that a refund was processed for the faulty item in-store, and as the item was not available in stock at the time, we were unable to arrange a replacement.

As you had indicated that you still wished to receive the item, our customer service team also checked online availability and provided a free delivery code as a goodwill gesture to ensure there was no loss on your side.

We did not receive a further response following this, however we remain available to assist you should you still need any support. Please do not hesitate to contact us again, and we will be happy to help.

Well made comfortable shoes

ALDO is my favorite shoes brand since 2010.
The shoes are well made and looking good, too.
Specially the Pillow Walk range ones are very comfortable.
Whilst visiting Canada last year, I bought more pairs and wore them straight away. Never needed the Break-in period like some other brands.

Ok let’s start with the first order I…

Ok let’s start with the first order I made, the system updated it to a collection point rather than a home address WHILST charging me for a home delivery. So order cancelled.

Second order - was lied to by customer service SEVERAL times that the order is being dispatched. It was never processed after over a week. So order cancelled.

Third order - sent me the wrong shoes. I swear to god either they’re really really bad at their job or they’re holding animosity against me. I don’t know what the heck happened to Aldo. Their customer service was exceptional now there’s no accountability. No apology, no nothing. I’ve emailed them but people please be careful when ordering. They’re awful when it comes to providing support. I’m waiting now to rectify this and we’ll see how this review ends up

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

We’re very sorry to hear about the issues you encountered across multiple orders – this is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide.

We can confirm that we have been in contact with you directly and have now worked to resolve the matters raised. We truly hope you are happy with your new shoes and that your experience moving forward is a much better one.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention and for giving us the opportunity to turn this experience around.

Aldo heels gave me the worst blisters of my life

I bought two pairs of heels from Aldo. They were very mid-size heels and when I tried them in the store they seemed comfortable. They were valued at £100 each. I wear heels only occasionally so in the next few months I wore them a total of 2 to 3 times and every single time my feet were left with the worst cuts and blisters because the shoes were so uncomfortable. I would think with a price tag like that the heels would be of higher quality and comfort. I ended up giving them some more time thinking that maybe they need to adjust to my feet but I was wrong. I ended up giving them to my mother because I thought they didn’t suit my feet. However, my mother was left with the worst blisters of her life to the point where she couldn’t walk comfortably. Since I bought them a few months ago the return date is long gone. I have emailed them regarding the situation and they said they can’t provide much of a solution and instead told me to take the shoes back to the store and see what they can do. Quite disappointing to have this kind of an experience after regarding the brand so highly.

Aldo Order

Delivery was took a few days, and I'm not happy with the cost for delivery considering I had to go to collect the item. I had to return one of the items and because all my local Aldo shops have closed I had to pay for the return. I paid nearly £7.00 for delivery & return. I have been left very dissatisfied with the amount I've had to pay, and I have decided not to purchase items from Aldo in the future.
