Crossword Genius

Socks and shoe repaired (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hose

'socks' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'shoe repaired' is the wordplay.
'repaired' indicates an anagram.
'shoe' anagrammed gives 'HOSE'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for hose that I've seen before include "plumbing connection" , "Stockings, etc." , "Stockings; drench" , "One with doublet; a tube" , "Socks and stockings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
