It’s often used in contexts where people make claims about what they can do or believe in, but then fail to demonstrate those capabilities or values through their actions. It’s a call to show that you are not just talk; you actually live up to your words. For example, if someone claims to care about the environment but never recycles, they're not walking the walk.
