Raise production of boots (5)
I believe the answer is:
boost
'raise' is the definition.
(I know that boost is a more specific form of the action raise)
'production of boots' is the wordplay.
'production of' is an anagram indicator.
'boots' is an anagram of 'BOOST'.
(Other definitions for boost that I've seen before include "Raise" , "Increase, amplify" , "Recharge" , "Fillip" , "Encourage or increase" .)
