Leather dancing shoe hired (9)

I believe the answer is:

horsehide

'leather' is the definition.
(horsehide is a kind of leather)

'dancing shoe hired' is the wordplay.
'dancing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'shoe'+'hired'='shoehired'
'shoehired' with letters rearranged gives 'HORSEHIDE'.

(Another definition for horsehide that I've seen is " leather".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
