Moll slips over sports shoes (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

plimsolls

'shoes' is the definition.
(plimsoll is a kind of shoe)

'moll slips over sports' is the wordplay.
'over' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'sports' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'sport' mean this).
'moll' put after 'slips' is 'slipsmoll'.
'slipsmoll' with letters rearranged gives 'PLIMSOLLS'.

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
