...socks often wouldn't even qualify as legwear covering only the foot.

There are kneehigh, over-kneehigh, and thighhigh socks. Those are socks covering a good portion of the leg.
While there are many occurrences of socks that don't extend past the ankles, they seem to be the minority of cases, and the ankle is still technically part of the leg, so imo socks are still legwear.
Then there are those really short socks covering only the foot. I would say they are footwear, as they don't go past the anklebone. But those are relatively rare.

I submitted the first sentence after misreading your quoted post, so I had to elaborate further so my opinion makes sense. Sorry.
