I saw this today and had to sit for a while and collect myself.

I am not sure that these shoes were chewed. It appears to me that the shell started dry rotting and tearing as the owner pulled the laces tight. This led to a tear and the owner had to further snug the laces the next time. Rinse and repeat many times. I think they just eventually tore to the point that they were donated to the thrift store. The lesson is to keep those shoes conditioned.
