Belts and footwear (5)
I believe the answer is:
socks
I believe this is a double definition.
'belts' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'footwear' is the second definition.
(socks is a kind of footwear)
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for socks that I've seen before include "usually come in pairs" , "Hits forcefully (colloq.)" , "Footwear - strikes" , "Hose" , "Hard blows" .)
