Our Story

Aldora, derived from the Greek meaning “winged gift”. Our story is built on three generations of shoemaking, where craftsmanship is not a feature, but a foundation.

What began with a skilled designer and a passion for quality evolved into a manufacturing legacy, as the next generation transformed vision into scale, blending traditional techniques with modern innovation while never compromising on craftsmanship.

Today, we carry that legacy forward from Durban, South Africa, where every pair is still made with intention. With decades of experience behind us, we focus on creating refined leather footwear that is timeless, reliable, and built to be worn daily.

We don’t believe in fast fashion or fleeting trends. We believe in well-made products that hold their place, pieces that become part of your routine, your confidence, and your story.

Aldora is more than footwear. It’s heritage, carried forward, one pair at a time.

Behind every pair is a team of skilled hands with over 100+ years of combined experience. From cutting to finishing, each step is carried out with care and precision by our Durban-based team, ensuring every product meets the standard we stand for.

HOW TO MEASURE YOUR FOOT

  2. Draw a line at your heel, and, at your longest toe.
  3. Step off the paper.
  4. Measure the distance between the two points in centimeters, from your heel to toe.
  5. Do this with both feet and use the greater measurement.
  6. Use this measurement to check your sizing according to the size guide above.
