clompy
Loud and clunking
Clompy describes heavy, loud footsteps or the shoes that make them.
Clompy boots thud against floors; a clompy walk announces someone's approach.
The word suggests ungraceful movement—more elephant than cat: She clomped around upstairs in those clompy heels.
Related to the verb clomp, an imitative word for heavy footfalls.
