Some socks and a little shoe (6)
I believe the answer is:
sandal
'shoe' is the definition.
(sandal is a kind of shoe)
'some socks and a little' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'SANDAL' is hidden in the letters of 'socks and a little'.
(Other definitions for sandal that I've seen before include "Casual footwear" , "Openwork shoe" , "Informal shoe" , "Item of footwear" , "Light strapped shoe" .)
