squelchy
Making moist sounds
Squelchy describes the soft, wet sound or sensation of walking through mud, soggy ground, or waterlogged material.
The word is onomatopoeic—it sounds like what it describes: My boots made squelchy noises crossing the marsh.
Something squelchy yields underfoot with a sucking, saturated quality: the squelchy lawn after days of rain.
