I sell padre buckle for shoe (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

espadrille

'shoe' is the definition.
(espadrille is a kind of shoe)

'i sell padre buckle' is the wordplay.
'buckle' is an anagram indicator.
'i'+'sell'+'padre'='isellpadre'
'isellpadre' with letters rearranged gives 'ESPADRILLE'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for espadrille that I've seen before include "you put your foot in it" , "Plaited fibres in its sole" , "sandal!" , "Light rope-soled shoe" , "[SHOE], made casually" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
