Light canvas shoe with a sole of braided cord (10)

I believe the answer is:

espadrille

(Other definitions for espadrille that I've seen before include "Footwear" , "you put your foot in it" , "Pale idlers (anag.)" , "Plaited fibres in its sole" , "[SHOE], made casually" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
