Young dogs chewing the end of bedroom foot attire (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pumps

'foot attire' is the definition.

'young dogs chewing the end of bedroom' is the wordplay.
'young dogs' becomes 'pups'.
'chewing' is an insertion indicator.
'the end of' says to take the final letters.
The final letter of 'bedroom' is 'm'.
'pups' enclosing 'm' is 'PUMPS'.

(Other definitions for pumps that I've seen before include "Shoes; inflaters" , "Dancing shoes - may be manned!" , "Forces liquid to move; light shoes" , "Light dancing shoes - force air into" , "Moves fluid or gas by pressure or suction" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
