When I housetrained Beenie and Frankie, I had them tethered to me with a leash at all times. Once an hour, I'd take them out and after they did business outside I'd make a big deal about it and squeal and give small treat. Over time, increase time to 2 hours then 3 then 4 etc...

Do this, that way he cant get any shoes or anything either.You could put a choker on him and do a quick snap and no when he goes for a shoe. Also for peeing you can use a pee band.

Just because he was housetrained at his previous home does not mean he will generalize that the same rules apply in this home. The best thing to do is treat him like a puppy. That means scheduled potty breaks, tether him to you, and whenever you can't be watching him 100% crate him. That will also prevent his getting into things he shouldn't.
If when you are watching him he goes after something he shouldn't have I wouldn't correct him (then again I don't believe in using corrections to teach dogs) I would tell him to give and take it from him, then I would tell him good boy and give him something appropriate to chew on.
Belly bands are good to use especially if he is marking, because if he goes to try and pee on something, you can go interupt him and take him outside to finish, and no pee gets on your stuff. Then you don't have to worry about cleaning it very thoroughly so that he doesn't smell it.
Good luck and don't give up. Adopting an adult can be a great challenge and reward all at the same time.
