NZ city expressed disapproval finally about footwear? (10,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wellington boot

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

'footwear?' is the definition.
(Wellington boot is an example)

'nz city expressed disapproval finally' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'city' could be 'wellington' (Wellington is an example) and 'wellington' is located in the answer.
'disapproval' could be 'boo' (as in a crowd booing) and 'boo' is found within the answer.
A single letter 't' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'about' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for wellington boot that I've seen is " Wear this".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
