Shoes repaired and disposed of we hear (5)
I believe the answer is:
soled
'shoes repaired' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'disposed of we hear' is the wordplay.
'disposed of' becomes 'sold' (dispose of can mean to sell something).
'we hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'sold' sounds like 'SOLED'.
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for soled that I've seen before include "Pulled at one time" , "Repaired shoe" .)
