Aircraft; Human Factors
The landing was excellent; Rollout of the aircraft was straight and smooth. When reaching for the toe brakes; I had a left brake but no right break. The toe brakes are little round pads on the top outsides of each rudder and are not easily identified with your toes even with soft sole shoes which I wear to fly in. I did not realize my foot had slipped off or was not on it properly until it was too late. The aircraft took a left direction as I was wishing to slow down. I let go of the left brake and caught it/straightened it with the right rudder. Right after I had it straight; I removed my right foot to lift it higher up to engage the right brake. The aircraft took a sharp left direction went onto the grass which with then full right rudder and the right brake did not help. The slope away from the runway is very steep and the aircraft was not able to be brought back up onto the runway; so I kept it straight and aimed at the taxiway; With the airplane tailwheel not willing to provide steering since it was on grass and the slope was still steep; the aircraft slid over the other side of the taxiway. The aircraft refused to turn right with all my efforts; so my next choice was to hit trees and or a building; so I choose to ground loop the airplane to avoid the trees and building. NO damage was done to any property including taxi signs or even lights. The aircraft came to a stop 180 degrees to the landing direction. No one was hurt in any manner since the speed was not very fast. The right gear leg collapsed as it stopped and the prop hit the grass and broke one of the tips. The engine was shut down and everything was turned off. The Runway XX is a challenging runway since there is zero room for error.
Private pilot did not have proper foot placement and lost control of the aircraft during the landing rollout. The aircraft  had a prop strike and right main gear failure.
