What's most often found in stiletto heel? A foot (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trotter

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a foot' is the definition.
(I know that trotter is a type of foot)

'what's most often found in stiletto heel?' is the wordplay.
'what's most often found in stiletto' becomes 't' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'heel?' becomes 'rotter' (I've seen this in another clue).
't'+'rotter'='TROTTER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for trotter that I've seen before include "Pig's foot, or one on the run" , "Briskly moving horse - pig's foot" , "Job Dickens created" , "Foot of pig" , "Food for man" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
