Backless slippers (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mules

'backless slippers' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for mules that I've seen before include "Hybrid offsprings of a male donkey and a female horse" , "Obstinate people" , "Beasts of burden" , "Backless slippers" , "Offspring of male donkeys and female horses" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and The Telegraph.
