Footwear gets entangled - 'Go away', we hear (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

court shoe

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'footwear' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'entangled go away we hear' is the wordplay.
'entangled' becomes 'court' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'go away' becomes 'shoo' (I've seen this before).
'we hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'shoo' sounds like 'shoe'.
'court'+'shoe'='COURT SHOE'

'gets' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for court shoe that I've seen is " Item of footwear".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
