Light shoes in these shops and also clogs (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sandals

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'light shoes' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'these shops and also clogs' is the wordplay.
'SANDALS' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I'm uncertain how this is indicated.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sandals that I've seen before include "Open footwear" , "Soles strapped to the feet" , "Light open shoes" .)
