Without shoes or socks (8)
I believe the answer is:
barefoot
'without shoes or socks' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for barefoot that I've seen before include "Unshod" , "Shoeless" , "'-------- in the Park', Neil Simon play filmed in 1967 with Jane Fonda and Robert Redford" , "Without shoes and socks" , "without protection for lowest members" .)
