Before you adopt John's last suggestion, remember to put the other shoe =
onto the firewall when it is hot and treat it similarly, or you may =
develop a limp

I hate to state the obvious, but what about placing the thumb of you
right hand on the left side of the right shoe, and you remaining=20
fingers inside the neck of the shoe. Now, squeeze the thumb and=20
fingers together. Once contact has been made with the shoe, continue=20
to squeeze while lifting up with your arm. :)
Which item do you want to save, the tennis shoes or the fire wall?
Unfortunately, if it is the firewall, it will get scratched and need=20
to be repainted. Use a razor blade scrapper to scrape off the shoe.
Another option would be to cut as much of the shoe off as possible and
sand the remaining part of the shoe off.
On the other hand, if you want to save the tennis shoes, use a drill=20
to start a hole in the firewall. Then use a saber saw to cut around=20
the shoe. The treat part to this, is you will add considerable life=20
to the soles of the shoes. The downside is, you won't be able to=20
sneak up on anyone and you'll sound like the Tin man.
