And I'm constantly being told by persons who shall remain nameless that I need new (or more) shoes.

Have you considered having your house redone by the guy who does all of Dr Seus s' houses?

There were diagrams with words like pronation and supination.

Your case is not too extreme, though it can be a problem for runners. My shoes have the same wear-patterns, and some better dress shoes have a special, easily replaced rubber element in exactly that rear-outside spot for resoling. I'm funny about shoes, too, and have trouble finding ones that really work for me. When I do, like you I always think about stockpiling and never follow through.
