Hurried to repair all but two shoes (4)
I believe the answer is:
tore
'hurried' is the definition.
(tear can mean to rush or hurry)
'to repair all but two shoes' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'to' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 're' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tore that I've seen before include "Pulled apart with force" , "came apart" , "Ran" , "Rote (anag.)" , "Ripped; went fast" .)
