Garments for the feet (5)

I believe the answer is:

socks

(Other definitions for socks that I've seen before include "Foot warmers and wind cones" , "Hits forcefully (colloq.)" , "Foot covers" , "Disappointment at Xmas" , "Short stockings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and the Sydney Morning Herald.
