Footwear for the age of disruption (5)
I believe the answer is:
sabot
'footwear' is the definition.
(I know that sabot is a type of footwear)
'the age of disruption' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found within the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'sab' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sabot that I've seen before include "Boast about wooden shoe" , "footwear from Paris" , "Boast (anag) - shoe" , "sole support?" , "French clog" .)
