Swish, squeak. To begin to think about it, consider the sounds you would actually hear, walking on leaves. They could be dry, dead leaves, or damp leaves, or fresh green leaves recently shaken from a tree in a storm. What would you hear? What kinds of sounds? Probably you are thinking of dry leaves, so the crunching sounds of "cr" and "ch" come to mind. If it was a deep pile of leaves you might also hear the "sh" sound. You have to use your imagination, and identify the sounds you can hear in your imagination.
Let's say you have decided on "cr" and "ch" and "sh" sounds. What are words you can think of that contain those sounds? You can make a list:
crunched
criss-crossed
shallow
shimmering
crimson
crisp
crescent-shaped
... and so on. The main thing is, you know in your mind what the sound would be, and you are picking words that contain that same sort of sound. But, you also want to make sure that you can use those words without distracting from the idea of walking on fallen leaves. So,
credentials
charred
shamanic
shelved
crass
crazy
might not be words that would work for you. But there are plenty of words in the English language. The point is, to let your imagination roam free, considering the sound of the action being described, and let onomatopoetic emphasis add to the "punch" of your writing.

What is an example of a sentence with an onomatopoeia?
(Onomatopoeia is a literary device where the sound of the spoken word imitates the sound of that which is being described -- here, the hiss of the snake.)"I could hear the hiss of the snake in the park."Another: "clip-clop of the rain drops."Onomatopoeia is best when the words accurately portray the sound as well of the sense of what is being described. Consider this:"The clusters of stiff leaves rubbed shoulders with one another, whispering secrets."You'll notice in the above example, you can hear, if you use your imagination, the "clicking" sounds that stiff leaves might make in a breeze. You can also hear the "s" or sibilant sounds, and without even thinking about it, because of the onomatopoeia, you imagine a breeze blowing through the leaves, although nothing about it was said.
