Obstinate fellow gets the slipper (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mule

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'obstinate fellow' is the first definition.

'the slipper' is the second definition.
(mule is a kind of slipper)

'gets' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for mule that I've seen before include "Equine hybrid" , "Obstinate quadruped" , "Drug courier; animal" , "Hybrid beast" , "Hybrid animal - slipper" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
