Long poles with footrests (6)

I believe the answer is:

stilts

(Other definitions for stilts that I've seen before include "Tall sticks for lofty walking" , "Poles used for walking high above the ground" , "Long sticks for elevated walking" , "Walking poles; birds" , "Sticks to wall on" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
