Go towards but leave footprints behind you (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
make tracks
'go' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for make tracks that I've seen before include "Go quickly" , "Platelayers will" , "create a record" , "work in studio" , "do recordings" .)
