Heel and toes tilt in a different way (8)
I believe the answer is:
stiletto
'heel' is the definition.
(stiletto heel is a kind of heel)
'toes tilt in a different way' is the wordplay.
'in a different way' is an anagram indicator (letters ordered a new way).
'toes'+'tilt'='toestilt'
'toestilt' with letters rearranged gives 'STILETTO'.
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for stiletto that I've seen before include "Bedspread" , "Long thin knife" , "One may have a stab" , "Tapering dagger" , "Slender-bladed dagger - heel" .)
