Stolen property (like footwear?) (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

booty

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

'stolen property' is the definition.
(booty is a kind of stolen property)

'like footwear?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'like' could be 'y' (similar in meaning) and 'y' is found within the answer.
'footwear?' could be 'boot' (boot is a kind of footwear) and 'boot' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for booty that I've seen before include "Spoils" , "Money holder" , "Spoil - plunder" , "Loot" , "Swag" .)
