Crossword Genius

Prise ladle off shoe (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

espadrille

'shoe' is the definition.
(I know that espadrille is a type of shoe)

'prise ladle off' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates an anagram.
'prise'+'ladle'='priseladle'
'priseladle' with letters rearranged gives 'ESPADRILLE'.

(Other definitions for espadrille that I've seen before include "Footwear" , "you put your foot in it" , "goes on foot" , "Pale idlers (anag.)" , "sandal!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
