clompers

Loud stomping shoes

Clompers are heavy, clunky shoes or boots that make loud noises when walking—work boots, platform shoes, or anything that clomps against the floor.

The word is informal and mildly affectionate: She came downstairs in her big clompers.

Sometimes used for feet themselves: Get your clompers off the couch.
