Coffee's popular, so they say, after soft-shoe (8)
I believe the answer is:
moccasin
'shoe' is the definition.
(I know that moccasin is a type of shoe)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for moccasin that I've seen before include "Soft leather 11" , "Footwear" , "Crow's foot perhaps covered in this" , "Sonic mac (anag.)" , "Venomous American snake" .)
