They're always underfoot (5)
I believe the answer is:
soles
'they're always underfoot' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for soles that I've seen before include "Undersurfaces of feet" , "Undersides of feet" , "Parts of shoes" , "Fish; bottoms of feet" , "Shoe bottoms" .)
