tromp
Walk with weight
Tromp means to walk heavily or stomp, often suggesting trudging through difficult terrain: We tromped through the snow to reach the cabin.
The word carries a sense of effortful, noisy movement.
In some regional American dialects, tromp substitutes for tramp or trample: The kids tromped all over the flower beds.
