    OH man, you need to go to Zappos. Free shipping and SUPER fast. AND, you can return them for 365 days (in new condition mind you.) I haven't gone over there to look, but I'm sure they'll have SOMETHING in his size. They've got pretty much all footwear imaginable.

    Oh, yes! At Zappo's you can search dress shoes for 6.5 EE --- I got 21 hits, several of which look suitable for evening wear. For instance a couple of models by Bostonian (leather sole), and a couple by Rockport if his feet would prefer a good supportive synthetic.

    I can't offer more help with a website, but I would like to second the recommendation for florsheim. I have a pair of those that have lasted now for two years of very regular wear, and are still good as new. They are also the most comfortable dress shoes I have ever had (before I put them on, I always assumed that dress shoes were supposed to be uncomfortable). So yeah, if it's an option, I love mine.

    Thanks all for your help.

    My Father found a nice pair of dress shoes at Zappos and ordered them this morning. His Burns' Night outfit should be complete!

    Cheers
