I wrote, "He wears boots without socks," and it was marked incorrect because I should have said "shoes." So "bota" can't mean "boot"? What's the Czech word for "boot" then?
Is this the same for other items of clothing linked to the žena declination in the tips an notes section or this an exception to the rule for Ponožka?
In case your question was about the ending itself, I will add that the žena paradigm has žen in the genitive plural, i.e., the final "a" is dropped. With ponožka (and similar words), dropping the final "a" would result in an ending consonant cluster (here, ponožk), and "e" is inserted between the last two consonants.... giving us ponožek instead.
Nosí is the third person form in both the singular and the plural. See, for example, a resource like: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/nosit.
