Verse perused regularly is about a shoe (7)
I believe the answer is:
eclogue
'verse' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'perused regularly is about a shoe' is the wordplay.
'regularly' means one should take alternating letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'is about' is an insertion indicator.
'a shoe' becomes 'clog' (I have seen 'Wooden shoe' mean 'clog' so perhaps 'shoe' could also mean 'clog').
The alternating letters of 'perused' are 'eue'.
'eue' placed around 'clog' is 'ECLOGUE'.
(Other definitions for eclogue that I've seen before include "Lines written" , "Work on farm" , "Bucolic" , "Poem about country" , "Short pastoral poem" .)
