Best Foot Forward:
Entrepreneur Caroline
McCulloch of FRANKiE4
“What happens to a dream
deferred?” asked poet Langston
Hughes. “Does it dry up, like
a raisin in the sun?” Caroline
McCulloch wouldn’t know.
She took the bold, scary step of turning a
business dream into reality - with much success.
Caroline is the director of, and designer behind,
FRANKiE4 footwear for women. If you know – and
love – the brand already, you’re definitely not alone:
FRANKiE4 has nearly 47,000 fans currently
on Instagram, and almost 60,000 on Facebook.
This is because, since its launch in 2010, FRANKiE4
has achieved what so many shoe brands before it
could not: it’s turned the “comfort shoe” on its head.
You see, Caroline wears two more hats [we’re up to
four, if you’re counting!]: she’s also a podiatrist and
physiotherapist. This health-professional cred sets
her footwear line apart, and helped her to create
the perfect shoe: supportive, comfortable AND
fashionable.
