How can you date men's dress shoes from the 40's and 50's?

Would you like help with particular pairs you have or just generally? If you can submit photos of specific pairs this would help.

Unfortunately I don't have any pairs I was speaking more in general terms.

If you can find some old magazines or store catalogs from those decades, that would help you out a lot.
