Shoestring (4)

I believe the answer is:

lace

'shoestring' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lace that I've seen before include "Delicate open-web fabric" , "Spike - ornamental fabric" , "Shoe tie" , "A fabric; add alcohol to" , "Flimsy fabric or shoe fasterner" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the Universal, The New York Times, the LA Times and The Star Tribune.
