Aldora, derived of Greek origin meaning "winged gift", is more than just a brand; it’s a legacy forged over three generations of shoemaking, beginning with a talented designer with a passion for crafting quality footwear, who unknowingly laid the foundation for what Aldora would become.

As time passed, his son took the reins, evolving from designer to manufacturer. He honored the traditions of shoe making while embracing innovation within the footwear industry. This expansion not only broadened their reach but also allowed him to merge artisanal techniques with modern design, ensuring that quality craftsmanship remained at the heart of every pair.

Today, the third generation proudly carries forward this rich heritage. With a fresh perspective and a deep appreciation for the past, we aim to elevate lives through our footwear. Every shoe we create is a tribute to our legacy, combining decades of knowledge with contemporary style to meet the diverse needs of our customers.

At Aldora, we believe that shoes should be more than just functional; they should inspire confidence and adventure. Whether you’re walking a mile or embarking on an unforgettable journey, we’re here to support you every step of the way. Our shoes are designed for everyone—because we know that every story is unique, and we want to be a part of yours.

Join us in celebrating a legacy of craftsmanship, passion, and connection. With Aldora, you’re not just wearing shoes; you’re stepping into a story.

As a general rule, your shoe length should be a minimum 0.5 cm and a maximum 0.8 cm longer than the length of your foot. Based on this, please see which size bracket your foot will fit into.

If you are between two sizes we recommend choosing the bigger size in length & width.

HOW TO MEASURE YOUR FOOT

1. Stand on a piece of paper with a flat 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.

Please note that due to the nature of our manufacturing process, a tolerance of up to 3 millimetres of variation from the posted size guide is possible. 

Thank you for choosing Aldora. We take great pride in our craftsmanship and are committed to delivering quality footwear that meets your expectations.
