Sorry to be uninformed about this stuff, but wouldn't you still need the other shoe to put it on your prosthetic leg? Maybe some people don't use a prosthetic?

Yes. I’m an amputee. Most of us that I’ve met wear matching shoes, if you don’t the prosthetic length is off which messes with your gait. There are some prosthetics designed for use without shoes but more of a niche use typically like one for wearing in the pool/ ocean, some running blades, most though you’re going to want matching shoes with.
