Spiked shoe (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cleat

(Other definitions for cleat that I've seen before include "Projection to tie a rope around" , "Support" , "Device on which to secure a rope" , "Projection for a rope on a boat" , "One to fasten rope to" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
