Shoe tangled in stockings (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hose

'stockings' is the definition.
(hose refers to stockings, tights etc)

'shoe tangled' is the wordplay.
'tangled' indicates anagramming the letters.
'shoe' with letters rearranged gives 'HOSE'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for hose that I've seen before include "Stockings; drench" , "Piping" , "Breeches (worn with a doublet)" , "Water pipe" , "footwear" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
