I have long been wanting to know what the meaning is by "walking with heavy steps".

Actually, what do somebody's heavy steps mean?
Thank you.

Hi panicmonger,

[FONT=&quot]trudge = walk heavily and firmly, as when weary, or through mud[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]shuffle – to walk very slowly, noisingly, without lifting your feet off the ground, to walk with difficulty being tired or unwilling to proceed.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]stagger – to walk or move unsteadily, almost falling over (from carrying something heavy, being weak , tired[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]or drunk); to walk with uncertain, uneven steps, continually veering in direction and keeping a precautious balance.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Regards,[/FONT]


[FONT=&quot]V.
