I believe the answer is:

sandal

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

'footwear' is the definition.
(sandal is a kind of footwear)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sandal that I've seen before include "Light open-toed shoe" , "what may be afoot" , "Openwork shoe" , "Item of footwear" , "One can go on foot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
