Hose boxes (5)
I believe the answer is:
socks
I believe this is a double definition.
'hose' is the first definition.
(term for socks or stockings)
'boxes' is the second definition.
(sock can mean to punch or box)
(Other definitions for socks that I've seen before include "Woollen footwear or slang punches" , "Foot covers" , "pair of garments" , "Foot warmers and wind cones" , "Half-hose" .)
