Need help with shoes 40\'s and 50\'s

Hi All
I just wanted same dating help on these shoes. I'm pretty sure that are all 40's and 50's but if someone knows a more specific date that would be awesome. First two pair:







On the left are wedgies made by Capendo. The wedges are made of cork.
On the right are open toed pumps by Mademoiselle, the fashion shoe.


Second two pair:









On the left are pumps by Evins and sold at Blach's Birmingham, AL.

The pair on the right are really worn out because I wear them a lot. Its hard to find vintage shoes that will fit my fat feet lol. They have no labels. Could they be slippers instead of regular shoes?

Thanks for all your help!

Although you would think the brown cork wedges were mid 40s - I think they are bit later, the open toe is a bit more open than wartime peep toes and the script on the sock insole is too postwar looking. They style originated during the war but they made wedge heels into the early 50s and these could be as late as 52ish. The Mademoiselles and David Evins are both middly 50s, probably 54/55 on the Evins and 55/56 on the Mademoiselle. The Black slippers with the Roman stripe wedge and platform are probably early 50s or very late 1940s - 48-52ish.
 
I was thinking more why those brown wedge shoes were later and there is another reason - the length of the vamp with the toe spring (how the toe is up from the ground, rather than flat to the ground) those are later features, more typical of early 50s shoes.
