Agree on early 70s for first pair. The second pair are post 1962 because they don't have Roger Vivier's name in them and his name appeared in all Dior shoes between 1955 and 1962, although I would think they darn close, so maybe c. 1963. The last pair I think are late 70s because of the central strap that runs from the vamp straps to the instep strap -- that was more popular in the 70s although they might just date to 1980ish
 
Great shoes! Though everyone has said early 70s on the first, I think they could date back into the very, very late 60s; I wore similar when I was about freshman age in high school and that was 1968, 69-ish. Totally in agreement with solid 60s on the 2nd ones, and late 70s on the last. My ex MIL used to wear sandals with that center-strap styling in the late 70s....
 
You are right Anne, the first pair could be 1960s, but that style is around from fall 1968 until about fall 1972, before 68 the heel would be lower and after fall 72 the toe would not be square but rounder and wider, or more almost shaped.
 
Thanks, Jonathan! Gee, I'm getting better at shoes, thanks in great part to you and the other shoe folks here! If they date to when I was a teenager, I usually can get pretty close with the dating, 'cuz I wore all the trendy styles, and my mom & sister-in-law both had closets full of shoes; they wore the 60's dressy pump styles, while I wore the chunky, blocky Mod shoes and then the hippie footwear.... Those first Diors could have come out of my closet (though not that name, though!)
