Reportedly get away to Oxford? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shoe

'oxford?' is the definition.
(oxford is a kind of shoe)

'reportedly get away' is the wordplay.
'reportedly' shows a homophone (sound like).
'get away' becomes 'shoo' (I've seen this before).
'shoo' sounds like 'SHOE'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for shoe that I've seen before include "9 maybe" , "Work as a farrier" , "Rim of metal nailed to a horse's hoof" , "Maybe court" , "Brogue, for example" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
