or disfifiguring of shoe(which could work in two ways) shoe becomes horse and if you disfure a shoe it could be reffering to the shape of a horseshoe which leads to a horse and a horse that is also a fearless man is of course Brgo

It's not that complicated. There's a word that means a certain type of large shoe - scramble that and you have a fearless man who aided Aragorn in the WotR.

Halbarad.

How to scramble that into a shoe, I don't know, but it's the best I can think of.

Close enough.

It was Angbor - a n anagram of brogan.

Take it away, Diamond18.

Ask me how to snag an elven flower and I'll teach you how to shovel an orc.

Snaga? " Snag an elven " Snaga was an orc...

That is correct but I'm looking for two answers to the clue.
