heeled

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'leaned to one side but' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'put right i hear' is the wordplay.
'put right' becomes 'healed' (I've seen this before).
'i hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'healed' sounds like 'HEELED'.

'was' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for heeled that I've seen before include "Leant over" , "As shoe may be repaired" , "Tilted; shod" , "listed" , "Played the part of a hooker" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
