Toes tilt awkwardly in this? (8)
I believe the answer is:
stiletto
'this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'toes tilt awkwardly' is the wordplay.
'awkwardly' is an anagram indicator.
'toes'+'tilt'='toestilt'
'toestilt' with letters rearranged gives 'STILETTO'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for stiletto that I've seen before include "Type of shoe" , "Short dagger; shoe heel" , "Type of heel" , "Dagger; tapered heel" , "Long thin knife" .)
