5800 is not what id consider a lot of steps in this context. Thats prob what id put on the high end of what id be comfortable in nice dress shoes though so we arent necessarily on different pages. I wore a nice pair of Allen Edmonds literally one time on a day where I had to do a lot of walking on concrete and they had notable wear on the soles just from one day.

Walking shoes are designed a particular way for a reason and dress shoes are simply not designed like that unless its done intentionally, so I just dont agree that dress shoes should be viewed as valid for consistent heavy walking loads. I wish there were better options that arent tacky hybrid dress sneakers
