These wooden clogs are engraved "Ortho Schaf" on the insole and have a made in Canada sticker. (Sounds like they may have been trying to compete with Dr. Scholl's). Are they 60s, 70s, cusper? And would the heel/platform be considered Oriental?

Thanks!

Well, Trell that settles it! Thanks! And they were made right in my back yard no less (okay a few miles north, but who's counting...).

Merci beaucoup les filles!
 
I was going to say early 70s but I think Trell proved that! Its part of the exercise sandal/Birkenstock/Negative heel Roots/Earth shoe Kelso foot health clog thing that was going on, in the early 70s, although it starts in the late 60s and slowly fizzles out after about 1975 and is revived in the early 90s. Did you know that Earth Shoes were called that because they debuted on the first Earth Day observance of April 1, 1970?
