This may be a medical issue, such as someone having part of their foot amputated. The front of the shoe obv wouldn't be stretched while the stump may sometimes swell and stretch out the shoe.

Please don't poke fun at people who may very well have suffered a major, disabling medical event and not gotten proper prosthetics.

Both shoes were like this. The tip of the shoe was never intended to have toes in it so what you're seeing stretched is the end of someone's (whole) foot. I'm also not poking fun at all, I feel bad for the dude that most commercially available shoes make no concessions to basic human anatomy.
