Hi! My name is Witold (pronounced "vee-told") and I am the founder of BlackerFriday.com. After many years working in corporate america, I decided it was time to take a break to pursue my real passion — helping people save money. Ever since I was a little boy selling pencils in the playground to my kindergarden friends, later collecting aluminum cans from all my neighbors in elementary school to support my baseball card addiction, eventually becoming an eBay Power Seller in my older years to support my college education, I had an eye for spotting deals. I’ve taken what I have learned over the years and built Blacker Friday to bring you the best Black Friday rumors, predictions, and news website. Fortunately I'm not alone in this - We have a great team of dedicated folks helping make this site possible.

Aldo Cyber Monday 2025 Sale – The Event Has Arrived!

November 21, 2025 BlackerFriday.com Leave a comment

Updated on Friday, November 21, 2025: ALDO has officially launched its Black Friday 2025 event, and just like last year, this year’s promotion runs past Cyber Monday. Below is a full breakdown of what’s included, how long the sale lasts, and any restrictions you should know about before shopping.

Sale Dates: How Long Will the ALDO Black Friday Event Run?

The Black Friday promotion began on November 19, 2025 and will continue until December 3, 2025 at 11:59 PM EST, or until certain products sell out.

The Black Friday promotion is valid across all ALDO retail locations within the United States, as well as online at aldoshoes.com. Since some items may sell out faster online, shoppers looking for a specific size or color may want to check both availability options.

How Much Will You Save?

During ALDO’s Black Friday event, shoppers can take advantage of up to 50% off select original-priced styles. The discount is automatically reflected in the price shown in-store and online (no promo code is required). Eligible items vary, but the offer spans a large assortment of seasonal footwear, casual shoes, handbags and more.

What’s notable about this year’s sale:

Prices are already reduced on the product page, so there’s no need to calculate discounts at checkout.
The markdowns can apply to both trending seasonal styles and year-round staples, depending on availability.

Free Shipping Offer

Alongside the product discounts, ALDO is offering free standard shipping on online orders over $10 USD. The shipping discount doesn’t require a code and will be applied automatically. However, it’s worth noting that this perk excludes orders shipped to Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico.

Restrictions to Keep in Mind

Like most large seasonal promotions, there are a few limitations. During the Black Friday sale:

Buyers cannot combine this discount with other offers, loyalty rewards, or select limited-edition collaborations.
The promotion does not apply to shoe care products or gift cards.
The discount cannot be retroactively added to past purchases.
Free shipping and discount terms may change at any time and apply only to U.S. shoppers.
