clomping
Loud boot walking
Clomping is walking with heavy, loud footsteps, suggesting boots or hard-soled shoes striking a surface: I heard her clomping up the stairs.
The word captures both the sound and the graceless quality of the movement.
Someone who clomps isn't trying to be quiet or elegant.
