Stories of the feet? (7)
I believe the answer is:
legends
'stories' is the definition.
(legend is a kind of story)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for legends that I've seen before include "Stories handed down from the past" , "Myths or traditional stories" , "Myths or inscriptions" , "The saintly lives" , "People admired" .)
