clompings
Loud boot steps
Clompings are instances of walking heavily or noisily, making loud, clunky footsteps.
The word captures the sound of boots or heavy shoes striking a hard surface: I could hear her clompings up the wooden stairs.
The plural suggests multiple episodes or a sustained series of heavy-footed movements.
