So my dress shoes and loafers are a little too long because I have wide feet. Are there any solutions out there that I can do to make a long last fit my feet?

You can buy “wide” shoes.

Agreed. Better spend a bit more with brands that will do E/EE/EEE

Not in certain brands - specifically talking about loafers here

Cole haan!

I have super narrow heels, but a wider top foot, and run into this problem constantly. I try to bring them to a cobbler to get stretched out but if I don’t have the time/just don’t feel like doing it, my favorite trick to stretch out the toe/top part of the show is as follows: 1) fill ziploc bag with about 1/4 cup of water 2) stuff ziploc bag with water into toe/top part of the shoe 3) stick in freezer for about 6-8 hours. I’ve done this with leather, suede, and a variety of materials and it hasn’t damaged my shoes. As the water in the bag freezes, it expands, thus stretching the toe of your shoe! You can always buy a shoe stretcher from Amazon, but I find the freezer trick works just as efficiently.

Buy a good foot traction system that will stretch your toes while you sleep. Money well spent.

Quitting before finalizing offers?

I’m at post onsite and negotiation stage at a couple places but it may take another month or 2 due to either hiring freezes or general slow processes.

I want to quit now to go on vacations that I held off during prep. Does it make much difference when I negotiate offers? Like if my upcoming unvested RSU would be (partially) matched, and they find out I quit somehow, is it no longer matched? Other potential snags?
