She's on the way to get a heel mended (5)
I believe the answer is:
helen
'she's' is the definition.
'the way to get a heel mended' is the wordplay.
'the way' becomes 'n' (Compass direction - North).
'to get' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'mended' indicates anagramming the letters.
'heel' anagrammed gives 'hele'.
'n' after 'hele' is 'HELEN'.
'on' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for helen that I've seen before include "Famous classical beauty" , "Beautiful daughter of Zeus and Leda who was abducted by Paris" , "beautiful woman" , ""The face the launched 1,000 ships"" , "lady" .)
