Crossword Genius

Vigorously enjoy vintage footwear? (4,3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

like old boots

'vigorously' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'enjoy vintage footwear?' is the wordplay.
'enjoy' becomes 'like' (like can mean to appreciate or enjoy something).
'vintage' becomes 'old' (I've seen this before).
'footwear?' becomes 'boots' (I've seen this before).
'like'+'old'+'boots'='LIKE OLD BOOTS'

(Another definition for like old boots that I've seen is " Vigorously".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
