Heels worn down on one side are usually caused by your GAIT/posture (most cases) — an angled foot strike wears one side faster; ill-fitting shoes or stiff soles can also contribute. It's fixable: replace or build up the worn heel (heel tap), and adjust your gait or use orthotic insoles if the wear is severe.

Details
Uneven wear on the outer heel edge is common, caused by your center of gravity and stride. Fixes: (1) shoe repair — replace the top piece/heel tap or build the heel back level, restoring the ground-contact surface; (2) Goodyear Welted shoes can have the entire sole/heel replaced multiple times; (3) if the uneven wear is severe and keeps recurring, review your gait, consider orthotic insoles, or see a doctor if the spine or joints may be involved. Don't wait until the wear cuts deep into the heel block before repairing — it damages the shoe and affects your gait.
