Punch some footwear ..... (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sock

This clue is a double definition.

'punch' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'some footwear' is the second definition.
(sock is a kind of footwear)

(Other definitions for sock that I've seen before include "Hit with a powerful blow" , "Article to cover extremity" , "One going into Oxford maybe" , "Hit hard - footwear" , "This partly protects member" .)

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