Very strange. Doesn’t sound right. That must have been some serious pressure and heat buildup I guess.
I’ve seen a lot of cracked shoes from poor maintenance, but that sounds like someone took out years of anger on them.
As far as a tight or stocking, it’s all about the smallest amount of wax, a bit of spit, and as little pressure as possible.
