'server wear' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'seen in hosts needs fixing' is the wordplay.
'needs fixing' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'seen'+'in'+'hosts'='seeninhosts'
'seeninhosts' with letters rearranged gives 'TENNIS-SHOES'.
