Hello, my name is Karen and I’m a shoe addict.
And yet, somehow (how?!), I haven’t shopped at Aldo in ages (even though I have admired several of their collaborations, especially the ones designed with Flare magazine, including these ones). It seems I buy most of my shoes while traveling (my favourite souvenirs tend to be shoes and jewelry), but I was pleasantly surprised by Aldo this week.
At the new Aldo flagship in Yorkdale Mall in Toronto, I found more than a few pairs of shoes I wanted to add to my closet (but I ended up with these hot ones from Preen x Aldo Rise).
But I also considered these Preen x Aldo Rise heels:
And maybe several others, too…(Remember? Shoe addict, me).
The store itself looks great, too, bright and airy, and the design cleverly incorporates a modern take on the old Aldo logo into many elements, from the floor to the shelving.
And not to further your possible shoe addiction, but I don’t see all the shoes I was coveting in store on the website…all the more reason to pop into the new flagship yourself. What can I say, I’m a shopping enabler.

I try not to wear high heels every day–love ‘em, but after repeatedly hearing what type of lasting damage I could be doing to my feet (like the recent findings that wearing heels daily can reshape your leg muscles and tendons, leading to pain when you don’t have heels on) scaring the bejesus outta me, no thank you! But on the days that I do decide my outfit calls for heels (can’t let my shoe wardrobe go to waste, can I?), I never leave the house without a pair of flip flops or Gap City Flats tucked in my handbag should I need to make any treks longer than three blocks–just following doctor’s orders to own and wear lots of shoes…
