Shoe wear from stroke walking

About three months ago I bought a new pair of velcro shoes from Payless.

Only 29.99, compared to my first pair that were extra wide, extra deep for $140 this was a bargain. However the soles are a fairly soft manmade material and my good foot(right) heel strike wore down the heel until the air compartment in the heel showed thru. Filled it with Shoe Goo to keep it useable. I have no left foot heel strike. I'm sure a PT could tell me exactly what I'm doing wrong but that's not going to occur.

    You're good side is your right side? I've only met one other person who is left-side affected. Most people seem to be right-side affected.

    I'm special that way.

    I buy a new pair of shoes ($90) every year to get rid of heels that are worn down. I like to walk fast and don't want ANYTHING to make my gait deteriorate. Pushing a wheelchair around the rehab hospital using one arm and one leg taught me I will do anything to stay out of a wheelchair.
