Shoe worn with stockings (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hose

'stockings' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'shoe worn' is the wordplay.
'worn' indicates an anagram (worn can mean damaged).
'shoe' with letters rearranged gives 'HOSE'.

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for hose that I've seen before include "One with doublet; a tube" , "Socks and stockings" , "Water pipe" , "Breeches (worn with a doublet)" , "Piping" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
