walked over

Crossed on foot

Walked over typically means to treat someone with contempt or disregard, dominating them without resistance: She let her boss walk all over her.

The image is of trampling someone underfoot.

In competitions, to walk over is to win easily, as if strolling past opposition: They walked over the other team.

Less commonly, it simply means crossed on foot: We walked over the bridge.
