footslog
Walk with effort
To footslog is to walk or march for a long distance, especially in a weary or laborious way.
The word suggests trudging through difficult conditions—soldiers footslogging through mud, hikers footslogging up a mountain trail.
We footslogged ten miles in the rain.
The noun footslog refers to such a trek.
A footslogger is someone who walks rather than rides, often a foot soldier or infantry member.
