Glue a piece of slide sole to the area you drag on...works like a champ.

I was ripping the toe caps off my Tour Ultras, so I attached a piece of teflon felt to it.  It is slick so it removed the grab of the approach when I slid my pushaway foot across the approach behind me.  That might work for you and it is easily replaceable.

Or take it to a shoe repair shop and see what they recommend.  --  JohnP
