Date help on shoes – 6 (!) pairs

Hello again.
:hiya:
Still at the beginners level in dating vintage, so I would be very gratefull if you would look at (some of) these and confirm/correct my guesses here.
I've put a little more info and more pics here:

I know the Peter Kaiser label, but Angulus I only know from very nice contemporary (childrens) shoes – would that be the same label and is it British?
I think I have come across Style-ez before – is that a british or american label?

Thank you!
Sille
 
This is what I think, but we shall see how I compare against The King. (Jonathan)

1) I think they are early 50's through mid or even late 60's doing very late 30's to mid 40's for older women who wear the older styles in a semi-orthopedic shoe, hence "The anatomic(-ally) correct" label.

2) mid to late 60's

3) early to mid 70's

4) late 60's

5) early to mid 80's

6) early 80's, they are not modern.

Angulus is a German brand. I ran across it during my research but I didn't include it because I couldn't find out much. The shoes look 1948-1952ish to me - German footwear is generally a little heavier looking (well built but not fine) at this time.

I am pretty sure Styleeze is an American brand - but I can't remember who, they look late 60s to me. The two pairs of sandals are about the same period. The heels are a bit too clunky for 69 or before, and the toes are a bit too square for 1972 or after, so they are 1970-71.

The Peter Kaisers are early-mid 80s, and that last pair is probably mid 80s...
 
Thank you very much, both of you.
I'm glad to be learning and that I'm not whole decades wrong – well, except for the last ones, then ;-)
No 1 is definitely sensible shoe, did not know that Angulus was German, but it makes sense: very well made and in great shape, but not that elegant, I agree.
For no 2, now I looked closer on the sole and it says size 7c, but that would be a very small english 7, so that could perhaps be because it's an american size 7?

I'm glad you agree on the no. 6 - i found it very difficult to place them in time, for some reason.
(Maybe because I just like them and they are my size – so they were already destined for keeping and for my new years eve) :-)
Thanks again
Sille
