oxford

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one may go on foot' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'steer car?' is the wordplay.
'steer' becomes 'ox' (a steer is a castrated ox).
'car?' becomes 'ford' (Ford is a make of car).
'ox'+'ford'='OXFORD'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oxford that I've seen before include "- Blue; - bags" , "English university town" , "Dark blue university?" , "Type of low-heeled shoe" , "Isis their second boat" .)
