Sports-shoe gripper (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cleat

'sports-shoe gripper' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for cleat that I've seen before include "Device on which to secure a rope" , "Support" , "Projection for a rope on board" , "One to fasten rope to" , "Strip used to strengthen a surface to which it is attached" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and the Newsday.com.
