Aldo Archives - Blacker Friday

Updated on Wednesday, October 14, 2026: ALDO has not yet announced its Black Friday 2026 sale, but last year’s event gives us a solid idea of what to expect.

In 2025, ALDO’s Black Friday promotion started on November 19 and ran through December 3, with up to 50% off select full-price styles. Discounts were already reflected in the listed price, so no promo code was needed.

For 2026, we expect another early launch, likely about a week before Thanksgiving, with footwear and handbags making up most of the sale.

When Will ALDO Black Friday 2026 Start?

Our best estimate is around November 18–20.

Last year’s event started November 19 and continued through December 3, giving shoppers roughly two weeks to take advantage of the discounts.

That makes an early start more likely than a sale that waits until Black Friday itself.

What Did ALDO Offer Last Black Friday?

The 2025 sale offered up to 50% off select original-priced styles both online and in U.S. stores.

The discount covered a broad mix of seasonal footwear, casual shoes, handbags and other accessories. Prices were marked down automatically rather than requiring a coupon code.

The main exclusions included gift cards, shoe-care products, some limited-edition collaborations and items covered by other promotions. The Black Friday offer also could not be combined with loyalty rewards or other discounts.

Boots Should Be One of the Strongest Categories

Late November is prime boot season, so this is one of the first categories we would check.

ALDO regularly discounts ankle boots, knee-high boots, heeled styles and seasonal fashion footwear during major promotions. If 2026 follows last year’s pattern, many selected styles should fall into the 30%–50% range.

For popular sizes and colors, inventory matters more than squeezing out another small discount. If the exact pair you want reaches around 40%–50% off, waiting until Cyber Monday may not be worth it.

Dress Shoes and Casual Footwear Should Also See Deals

ALDO’s sale is usually broad enough to include more than seasonal boots.

Men’s loafers, dress shoes, sneakers and women’s flats, heels and casual shoes are all likely candidates for markdowns.

A 30% discount is fairly typical for a good promotional sale. Anything closer to 50% becomes more interesting, especially if the style is still part of the current assortment rather than clearance.

Handbags and Accessories Are Worth Checking

ALDO also uses Black Friday to discount handbags and fashion accessories.

Last year’s sale included handbags alongside footwear, and we expect the same in 2026.

If you are shopping for a gift, bags can sometimes be easier than shoes because you do not have to worry about size availability.

Don’t Assume Every Sale Item Can Take Another Discount

ALDO frequently runs additional promotions outside Black Friday, including clearance discounts and email or SMS signup offers.

Current promotion terms, for example, include an extra 30% off clearance online and a 15% first-purchase offer for new email and text subscribers. Those offers have their own exclusions and generally cannot be stacked with other promotions.

During Black Friday, check the live terms rather than assuming a signup coupon or loyalty reward will apply on top of the holiday price.

Free Shipping Could Return

Free shipping was one of the better perks in 2025.

During last year’s Black Friday event, qualifying U.S. online orders over $10 received free standard shipping. Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico were excluded.

ALDO’s current everyday threshold is much higher at $90, so a low Black Friday shipping minimum would be a meaningful extra if it returns in 2026.

Returns Are Easiest In Store

ALDO currently offers free in-store returns on eligible orders, including purchases originally made online.

Online returns sent by mail or through a Happy Returns location carry a $5.95 fee. Items must be unworn, undamaged and in their original packaging with tags attached.

Final-sale items cannot be returned or exchanged. That is especially important when shopping the deepest Black Friday markdowns.

Should You Wait for Cyber Monday?

Probably not if the style and size you want are already deeply discounted.

In 2025, ALDO’s Black Friday promotion continued through December 3, which meant Cyber Monday fell inside the same sale period rather than acting as a completely separate event.

The bigger risk with footwear is selling out. If your size is available at 40%–50% off, buying during the Black Friday sale is usually more sensible than waiting several more days.

When Will the ALDO Black Friday 2026 Sale Be Announced?

Mid-November is our best estimate.

Last year’s sale was already underway by November 19, so we would expect the 2026 promotion to appear around the same point in the calendar.

Once ALDO releases its 2026 Black Friday sale, we’ll update this page with the confirmed dates, discount levels, shipping terms, exclusions and standout deals on shoes, boots and handbags.
