Hello, I'd be happy to help you to get the shoes you need in time for your dad's gift. I know how annoying this type of thing can be - I play Rickenbacker guitars and you can only get the parts in the US and the import companies charge double! I am used to packaging andsending things overseas, I've been on Ebay since the early 2000s. There is a TKMax very near me actually (Worthing, West Sussex). Anyway, happy to have a chat and see if I can help. Best, Davy
