Walked with an apparently arrogant gait (8)

I believe the answer is:

strutted

(Other definitions for strutted that I've seen before include "Walked ostentatiously" , "Swaggered" , "Walked proudly like peacock" , "Your stuff may be" , "Walked with stiff gait" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
