'fit?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.

(Other definitions for slip-on that I've seen before include "Shoe without fasteners" , "Garment or shoe with little or no fastening" , "Not a lace-up" , "Shoe without laces" , "Without fastening" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
