Soft leather shoe (8)
I believe the answer is:
moccasin
'soft leather shoe' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for moccasin that I've seen before include "Soft leather 11" , "Slipper; snake" , "Soft, slip-on shoe - snake" , "going on foot?" , "Put one's foot in it" .)
