Fool with running shoes without right boxes? (10)
I believe the answer is:
containers
'boxes?' is the definition.
(box is a kind of container)
'fool with running shoes without right' is the wordplay.
'fool with' becomes 'con' (I've seen this in another clue. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'running shoes' becomes 'trainers' (I've seen this before).
'without' suggests deleting specific letters.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'trainers' with 'r' removed is 'tainers'.
'con'+'tainers'='CONTAINERS'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
