Dismissal of footwear (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

boot

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'dismissal' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'footwear' is the second definition.
(boot is a kind of footwear)

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for boot that I've seen before include "Profit" , "Amass and hide away" , "Hard kick (colloq.)" , "Item of footwear" , "Kick; start (a computer)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
