'walks' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'poles around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates anagramming the letters.
'poles' anagrammed gives 'LOPES'.

(Other definitions for lopes that I've seen before include "Bounds" , "Runs with long bounding steps" , "Runs using poles" , "Runs easily" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
