Sharp footwear? (8)

I believe the answer is:

stiletto

'sharp footwear?' is the definition.
(footwear with a sharp heel)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for stiletto that I've seen before include "Dagger with narrow blade, or a high heel" , "One may have a stab" , "Kind of heel" , "Tapering dagger" , "Thin high heel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
