stamping
Heavy foot pressing
Stamping is the act of bringing a foot down forcefully, usually to express frustration or make noise: The child went stamping off to her room.
It also refers to the industrial process of pressing or cutting material with a die: metal stamping, stamping out parts.
A stamping ground is a place someone frequents—their usual haunt.
