I buy Clarks shoes but I always walk down the left shoe on the left edge, cobbler says he can't help as they are not actually leather soles, any thing I can do as I am having to throw them all away and the tops are still good ?

Try another cobbler. There are adhesives for fixing stick-ons to manmade soles.

It would need physio to correct your posture and walking I think. So it's natural to you. Try correcting it yourself or just resign yourself to that's the way it is for you and you are going to spend a lot on shoes.
Buy some segs which are small crescent shaped metal pads with spikes

best used on new shoes but may save those shoes that are worn. Worth a go.
my god segs have been around for years, never thought of them but at least they even things up IF your shoes are up to taking them being hammered in to.

Yes I looked at them, I think they are very noisy to walk on, and also don't think they would stop on , unless you could use superglue
Get the cobbler to put the segs on; they won't fall off but - as you suggest - you might sound like a Sergeant-Major when you're on the move! Some youngsters once actually lined up and saluted me good-humouredly on the High Street, as my wife and I walked past. Obviously, I returned the compliment! My shoes, however, lasted much longer than usual.
