The only really good way to walk confidently is to feel confidence. In order to feel confident you have to be less self-conscious. The best way to do this is to focus your attention outside of yourself on your surroundings, other people, etc.

Where you look or focus conveys immense confidence. You can practice looking at people directly in the eyes as you walk up to them.

Confidence is relaxed and not self-conscious or tight. So if you must focus on yourself, I'd begin by focusing on breathing deeply and easily while walking. Try walking and moving your arms slower. Confident people seem to never hurry.

Confident walking is really tough thing to isolate outside of confidence in general.
