I believe the answer is:

tramps

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'walks' is the first definition.
(tramp is a kind of walk)

'drifters' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'like' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tramps that I've seen before include "Walks heavily and firmly" , "Goes on a long walk" , "Vagrants or hoboes" , "Journeys wearily" , "Walks heavily like hoboes" .)
