Shoe Help, Please!

I've gone through Jonathan's Shoe Workshop (which is GREAT, thanks!) and have dated most with no problem - BUT - these shoes I am not too certain about!

I put them as being 40s due to the cuban heel - but for some reason I keep getting a 'earlier vibe' probably due more to their condition than anything else - but I am just not sure if I have the date right.

They are by "Bective" with the name showing through an oval cutout at the centre of the insole - also stamped with "CushionWear" and "American Style & Last". In black leather, with an embossed strip either side looking like alligator skin, and with elastic across the instep behind the large flat bow.

Any help much appreciated!

Your pics aren't showing up on the public board Margaret, but I saw these on the seller's board and I think they are late 1930s, just into the early 1940s, somewhere between 1937 and 1942ish
 
Thanks Jonathan - unfortunately the Mall had some down time earlier, so the images couldn't show!

Glad my 'early vibes' on these were right! ;)
