Delay over initially ordering that woman's footwear (8)
I believe the answer is:
galoshes
'footwear' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'delay over initially ordering that woman's' is the wordplay.
'delay' becomes 'lag' (lag is a kind of delay).
'over' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'initially' suggests taking the first letters.
'that woman's' becomes 'shes' (she refers to a woman).
The first letter of 'ordering' is 'o'.
'lag' backwards is 'gal'.
'gal'+'o'+'shes'='GALOSHES'
(Other definitions for galoshes that I've seen before include "Waterproof overshoes" , "footwear" , "Go hassle to get overshoes" , "Overshoes usually made of rubber" .)
