Crossword Genius

Footwear hamper (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clog

This clue is a double definition.

'footwear' is the first definition.
(clog is a kind of footwear)

'hamper' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for clog that I've seen before include "Block with wooden-soled shoe?" , "Block; sabot" , "Wooden footwear" , "Become blocked with wooden-soled shoe" , "Footwear - hamper" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Guardian.
