Female accepting love for footwear! (4)
I believe the answer is:
shoe
'footwear' is the definition.
(shoe is a kind of footwear)
'female accepting love' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'she' (I've seen this before**).
'accepting' is an insertion indicator.
'love' becomes 'o' (In tennis, 'love' means 'zero').
'she' placed around 'o' is 'SHOE'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for shoe that I've seen before include "Loafer, say" , "Case from which playing cards are delt one at a time" , "this goes about a foot" , "Footwear - playing-card dispenser - part of a brake" , "trainer, for example" .)
