Because glass is joined by covalent bonds in a rigid lattice so when pressure is applied like forces align and separate therefore making the glass shatter
When you pour hot water in a glass, the inner side of glass expands due to heat energy while outer side is relatively cooler. Due to this effect the pressure is developed and cracking of glass occur
It is not flexible, which makes it very uncomfortable to wear a glass shoe.
