A person with hard shoes and carpet’s ruined (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
tap dancer
'a person' is the definition.
(tap dancer is a kind of person)
'and carpet's ruined' is the wordplay.
'ruined' indicates an anagram.
'and'+'carpet'='andcarpet'
'andcarpet' anagrammed gives 'TAP-DANCER'.
'with hard shoes' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tap dancer that I've seen before include "Heel and toe clicker?" , "Astaire, say" , "Entertainer needing floorboards" , "Hard shoe entertainer" , "Astaire was one" .)
