Ordering & Payment FAQs
Why is my discount code not working?
Most discount codes are only valid on full-priced items and do not apply to sale or discounted products. If you are having issues applying a code to a full-priced item, please reach out to us for assistance.
Can I change or cancel my order?
Once an order has been placed it is not easy to make changes to it, particularly if your order is placed outside of business hours (9-5pm, Mon-Fri). Note that you are responsible for the information you give us, and so may be liable for additional costs regarding this information.
Please get in touch as soon as possible to see if we can remediate the issue for us via our contact form here .
Can I place an international order?
On this site we only ship within the United Kingdom. However, ALDO is available in nearly every continent so please visit our Global Location page for a full list of ship to countries.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept VISA, Mastercard, Maestro and American Express.
Do you offer a student discount?
Yes, please see our Student Discount page for more information.
Do you offer a key worker discount?

Can I return and get a refund for items marked as Final Sale?
Items marked as Final Sale can be returned and refunded as long as they meet the standard return conditions (e.g., unused, in original packaging, with tags attached). If you wish to return your online-bought goods to one of our stores, this is a free-of-charge service. If you wish to return your goods through the post, there is a postage fee of £3.95. Please note: We’ve taken care to include a warning note on the product page to advise that the line purchased may have imperfections, but the core of the product should be fully functional and has been priced accordingly. In terms of being worn, the item will have only been tried on in one of our stores; we don’t accept returns once an item has been worn outside and should only be cosmetic wear on the sole.
I haven’t received an order confirmation
You should receive an order confirmation immediately upon making your purchase. If you have not received one, try one of the below:
- Please log into your account and check you used the correct email address.
- Check your junk folder; sometimes confirmation emails get filtered.
Still no luck? Please use the online contact form and we'll look into it. Please remember to include your name, email address, your order number (if you have it), the time of your order and what items you ordered.
Quality and fit FAQs
How should I check if my shoes fit?
To test the fit of your shoes, please try on in your home on a clean surface (preferably carpet) to not scuff or damage the soles.
Give yourself some space to walk as normally as possible.
My shoes hurt/ rub. Is this normal?
Yes. New shoes can often hurt or rub on the first few occasions of wearing them and is part of the "breaking-in" process. This is when the materials soften to adapt to your feet and gait.
We try our hardest to produce shoes that are both stylish and comfortable, but just note that sometimes style wins.
How long should my shoes last?
There is no black and white answer to this. Generally, we adhere to a 6-month fair usage policy.
What does this mean?
It means that, if cared for, the functional integrity of your shoes should last 6 months (ie you can walk in them and they don't fall apart).
Cosmetic features during this time, such as affixed gemstones, do not fall under the functional element of the shoe.
Please note that once used, it is the owner's responsibility to look after their shoes. This not only means wearing them in sensible locations (unless stated, our shoes are not designed for places like building sites), but also that they are stored appropriately.
Outside of this first 6-month period, we will not be able to help remediate any damage to your shoes, as we cannot assess how your shoes have been treated during their lifespan.
How long should my bag last?
Like our shoes, we generally, we adhere to a 6-month fair usage policy.
What does this mean?
It means that, if cared for, the functional integrity of your bag should last 6 months.
Cosmetic features during this time do not fall under the functional element of the bag.
Please note that during its lifespan, it is the owner's responsibility to look after their bag. This not only means wearing looking after the bag when outside, but also that they are stored appropriately.
Outside of this first 6-month period, we will not be able to help remediate any damage to your bag, as we cannot assess how it has been treated during its lifespan.
