A look with feet in the air? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aloft

'in the air?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a look with feet' is the wordplay.
'look' becomes 'lo'.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'feet' becomes 'ft' (I've seen this in other clues).
'a'+'lo'+'ft'='ALOFT'

(Other definitions for aloft that I've seen before include "In the air, overhead" , "up the mast" , "Skyward" , "in a high position" , "At a considerable height" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
