The story of the foot? (6)
I believe the answer is:
legend
'the story' is the definition.
(legend is a kind of story)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for legend that I've seen before include "Story about mytical beings" , "Old yarn" , "Old tale" , "Traditional story - inscription" , "Saga" .)
