Edna Frimpong, known as "The Shoemaker Girl," takes us on her entrepreneurial journey from hammering soles in her father's workshop to running a thriving footwear business. With a first-class degree in her pocket, she chose to elevate her family's craft rather than pursue conventional career paths—a decision that raised eyebrows but ultimately proved visionary.Starting with absolutely no funding during the COVID-19 pandemic, Edna's resourcefulness shines through as she shares how she borrowed smartphones to photograph products and leveraged WhatsApp for initial sales. The turning point came through an unlikely source: a university assignment requiring students to create social media accounts led her to LinkedIn, where her authentic storytelling about shoemaking stood out on a platform dominated by corporate professionals.What sets Edna's approach apart is her embrace of partnerships, breaking from the common tendency among Ghanaian entrepreneurs to maintain sole ownership. By bringing together team members with complementary skills—someone with financial expertise, another with technical knowledge—she created a sustainable business model focused on product excellence. Her philosophy of "legacy thinking over survivor thinking" has guided key business decisions, including reinvesting profits rather than pursuing immediate gratification.Beyond business growth, Edna's "Shoe for the Shoeless" initiative demonstrates her commitment to social impact. This community project, initially funded through proceeds from her book, has evolved into a sustainable giving program supported by her growing network. Her experience offers profound wisdom for entrepreneurs: know your niche, understand the power of branding, develop financial discipline through investment, and create your own template for success rather than following societal expectations.Subscribe to Konnected Minds Podcast for more inspiring conversations with entrepreneurs who are redefining success on their own terms while making meaningful impact in their communities.Support the showWatch the video episode of this on YouTube - https://linktr.ee/konnectedminds

What do you get when a group of podiatrists team up with a Barbie doll collector? A research paper published in the journal PLOS ONE that looks into 65 years of Barbie history. The idea started when one of the authors was watching the 2023 Barbie movie. In it, there was a scene when Barbie steps out of her high heels and her feet flatten for the first time. For those of us who grew up with Barbie, we know that her feet used to be in a permanent tip-toe position. The researchers found a Barbie collector and analysed 2750 of their Barbie dolls from her debut in 1959 to June 2024 with a specific tool designed to measure foot posture of the doll. They found that over the decades Barbie has moved from a world of endless stilettos to one where flats are more common, especially when she's on a job. Just like many women today, Barbie now 'chooses' her shoes based on what she needs to do. If she's skateboarding, working as an astronaut, or heading to a medical shift, it's flats all the way. But when it's time to party, those heels come back out. In the 1960s, all Barbies stood on tip-toes, ready for a night out. But by the 2020s, only 40 percent of Barbies had that high-heel-ready posture. That change aligns with Barbie's expanding résumé. From being an astronaut in 1965 to a surgeon, Barbie has boldly entered fields once dominated by men. As women gained more workplace rights and opportunities, so did Barbie. In fact, by 2024, 33 percent of Barbies represent real-world jobs. And with that shift came new footwear more functional, more stable, and more diverse. The study found that Barbie's foot posture reflected more than just job roles. It mirrored broader changes in representation and inclusion. For example, Barbie dolls with prosthetic limbs wore flat shoes to reflect stability, but intriguingly, some dolls in wheelchairs still wore high heels, reminding us that fashion and function can coexist, and that breaking stereotypes isn't always about ditching glamour. The topic of high heels often comes with warnings - about bunions, knee pain, back problems. But here's the twist: these issues are also common in people who don't wear heels. And most research into high-heel risks involves people who rarely wear them or wear them during high-impact activities. There's a lot we don't know about the long-term effects of regularly wearing high heels. What we do know is this: they slow your walking pace and challenge your balance. But risk varies depending on heel height, shoe design, and individual lifestyle. Ultimately, Barbie reflects us. She's not just a plastic fashionista, she's a cultural mirror. Her shift from stilettos to flats isn't about turning her back on glamour. It's about making purposeful choices. Barbie wears heels when she's feeling fabulous, and sneakers when she's saving the world. And maybe that's the real message here: women can and do make thoughtful decisions about their footwear based on comfort, identity, and function.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 13, 2025 is: apotropaic • ap-uh-troh-PAY-ik • adjective Something described as apotropaic is designed or intended to avert evil. // The etchings are believed to be associated with ancient apotropaic rituals. See the entry > Examples: “Scholars ... say witches were believed to be attracted to the scent of a human shoe and, having entered one, found themselves trapped. Footwear is one of a mindboggling array of items used in apotropaic magic, designed to turn away harm or evil influence.” — Pete Pheasant, The Derby (England) Telegraph, 13 Mar. 2025 Did you know? Apotropaic is a charming word, and not just because of its cadence. You see, this term is a literal descriptor for things believed to protect against evil. Apotropaic motifs can be found throughout history, from carvings of Greek Gorgons to charms worn to repel the evil eye. The word apotropaic comes from the Greek verb apotrépein, meaning “to turn away from, avert,” combining apo- (“away”) with trépein (“to turn”). The magic of apo- doesn't end there: its influence is evident in many English words, including apology, apostrophe, apostle, and apocalypse.

Knee pain can be managed with proper training and techniques. Isometric exercises play a crucial role in injury prevention. Diet can significantly impact tendon health and performance. As athletes age, training methods must adapt to prevent injuries. Different jumping techniques can affect knee stress differently. Warm-ups are essential to prevent injuries, especially as one ages. Cool-downs can aid recovery and reduce next-day soreness. Managing jump volume and intensity is key to longevity in the sport. Listening to one's body is crucial for effective training. Jordan has never used injections or stem cells for recovery. He emphasizes conservative management and load management for knee issues. Plyometrics should be approached with caution, focusing on depth jumps and seated jumps. Single effort jumps are preferred over multi-effort jumps to avoid knee strain. Lifting techniques should be adjusted based on individual comfort and pain levels. Muscle imbalances should be addressed by strengthening weaker muscles rather than focusing solely on balance. Footwear can significantly impact knee health; personal preference varies. Pain management during training can involve isometric exercises and adjustments in technique. Common tendon issues arise from excessive jumping without proper recovery and management. Weight training is essential for dunkers to prevent injuries and improve performance.

https://jo.my/2506ai Ergonomics & Injury Prevention: Footwear and Floor Mats Preventing slips, trips, and falls is key to maintaining a safe and productive environment in any facility. While many factors contribute to injury prevention, two often overlooked areas are the importance of proper Footwear and the strategic use of floor mats. These simple measures can dramatically reduce incidents and promote a more comfortable and secure workspace. Choosing the proper Footwear and using the correct floor mats is more than just a comfort decision—it's a safety requirement. Employees spend long hours on their feet, often on complex, slippery surfaces. Without proper support and traction, fatigue and accidents become more likely. A solid Safety Culture recognizes that small investments in these areas significantly impact injury prevention. Here are a few tips to assist you with improving safety through footwear and floor mat use: Select Appropriate Footwear: Employees should wear shoes designed for the facility environment. Look for slip-resistant soles and firm arch support to reduce the risk of falls and fatigue. Inspect Footwear Regularly: Shoes wear out over time. Encourage employees to check their Footwear for smooth soles, broken laces, or damaged material. Replace worn shoes immediately to maintain complete protection. Use Anti-Fatigue Mats Where Needed: Cushioned mats in areas where employees stand for long periods can help reduce leg and back strain. Less fatigue means better focus and fewer accidents. Install Slip-Resistant Mats: Use mats with non-slip surfaces where moisture or spills are common. These mats improve traction, and help channel away liquids that could cause slips. Maintain Floor Mats Properly: If left unchecked, mats can shift, curl, or wear down, creating tripping hazards. Regular cleaning and inspection ensure that mats stay in place and are effective. Investing in the proper Footwear and maintaining quality matting solutions helps protect everyone in the facility. It reduces strain on workers' bodies, lowers the risk of serious injury, and keeps productivity high. A safe and comfortable foundation underfoot builds a stronger and more focused workforce. Paying attention to these small details shows a commitment to safety and helps create a workplace where everyone feels supported, literally and figuratively.

This week we've got a chat with Andrew Turriff, a Canadian shoemaker who studied at Cordwainer's Footwear Design program in London, worked for some big sneaker brands, and did pattern work for fellow Canadians Viberg and time in the orthopedic world before deciding to make a zero-drop, anatomical, barefoot shoe with of top-end materials—and also make it resolable, which it's otherwise quite tough to find. Turriff Functional Footwear's launch model recently became available and I've been wearing and loving the shoes for over a month now. Are my feet stronger? I have no idea. Am I a barefoot shoe zealot now? Nope! But I legitimately love the shoes Andrew's created. Our chat that gets deep into the science behind barefoot shoes, the technical construction and design aspects of Turriff Footwear, and the shoemaking journey that provided the building blocks for what's certainly been one of the more interesting pieces of quality footwear I've worn in a while. https://www.turriffshoes.com/ Support the Shoecast, get full bonus episode access, and join the most interesting shoe-and-boot-loving community on the internet with a Stitchdown Premium membershiphttps://www.stitchdown.com/join-stitchdown-premium/Check out our site!https://www.stitchdown.com/2025 dates and location for Stitchdown's Boot Camp 3—the world's fair of shoes and boots and leather and more—coming soon.https://www.stitchdownbootcamp.com/

Walking the Legal Runway: Fashion's Fiercest Footwear Battles

Step beyond the glossy facade of fashion into the fierce legal battlegrounds where iconic footwear brands fight tooth and nail to protect their signature designs. From the vibrant red soles of Christian Louboutin to the humble foam clogs of Crocs, the most recognizable shoes in the world have sparked global intellectual property wars with stakes in the millions.Louboutin's journey through courts worldwide reveals how differently countries interpret trademark protection. While his red sole secured recognition as a valid trademark in the US (but only when contrasting with the rest of the shoe), he faced defeat in France against Zara yet triumphed in the Netherlands and China. These jurisdiction-specific battles highlight how fragmented global IP protection can be, forcing brands to fight the same war on multiple fronts.The Manolo Blahnik saga in China demonstrates the perils of trademark squatting, with the legendary designer locked out of using his own name for 22 years until China's Supreme People's Court finally ruled in his favor in 2022. Meanwhile, Crocs transformed from counterfeit victim to accused party, first winning import bans against 20+ knockoff brands before facing accusations of falsely advertising patent protections they didn't possess.The digital age has created new pitfalls, as Puma discovered when Rihanna's Instagram posts of their collaborative Fenty Creeper invalidated their design protection in Europe by starting the clock on the 12-month disclosure grace period. Even tech innovations face fierce battles, with Nike aggressively protecting its Flyknit technology against competitors like Lululemon, while comfort-focused Skechers surprised everyone by successfully challenging luxury powerhouse Hermès over sole designs.These cases reveal crucial lessons for creators and businesses: secure your IP early and globally, develop truly distinctive designs that consumers immediately associate with your brand, understand how protection varies by country, and recognize that even seemingly mundane innovations can represent valuable intellectual property worth defending. Whether you're fascinated by fashion, intellectual property law, or business strategy, these high-stakes battles showcase how the soul of a brand often lies in its sole.Send us a text

For way too long, I thought training more meant training better. Six or seven days a week, sometimes twice a day, because if I wasn't pushing my limits, was I even making progress?I see this all the time now. People grinding through back-to-back workouts, ignoring the signals their bodies are screaming at them. Constant fatigue, stubborn plateaus, weird little injuries that just won't go away. And for what? More isn't always better. In fact, sometimes, it's the very thing holding you back.I used to think I had to train like an athlete to see results—until my body literally forced me to slow the hell down. The truth is, real progress happens in the recovery, not just in the reps. And if you're stuck, exhausted, or just not seeing the changes you expected… it might be time to rethink your approach.In today's episode, I'm breaking it all down. We'll talk about the signs of overtraining—like constant fatigue, plateaus, and mood swings—and why they happen in the first place. I'll explain how too much exercise can actually mess with your strength, metabolism, and hormones, making it harder to see results. And, most importantly, I'll show you why rest days are just as critical as your workouts and how you can train smarter (not just harder) to get stronger, feel better, and actually make progress.If you've ever felt guilty for taking a rest day, or wondered why your workouts aren't hitting the same way anymore… this episode is for you!Because here's the deal: training smarter > training more.
