407 Steps to Miles
Convert 407 steps to distance and you land on approximately 0.20 miles. That distance lines up closely with the length of a football field, end zone to end zone and back. Measured against the popular 10,000-step daily goal instead of the national average, this comes out to about 4%.

407 Steps to Miles, By Height
The 2,000-steps-per-mile figure above is a flat average. Stride length actually scales with height, so the same 407 steps covers a different distance depending on how tall the walker is.
| Height | Distance |
|---|---|
| Short (~5'2") | 0.16 mi |
| Average (~5'7") | 0.18 mi |
| Tall (~6'2") | 0.20 mi |

Did You Know?
Astronauts on the International Space Station exercise roughly two hours a day, six days a week, including treadmill sessions where they're strapped in with a harness, since without gravity there's nothing pulling their feet back down after each step.
Even with all that scheduled treadmill time, astronauts still lose bone density in space. The impact forces from walking in microgravity are measurably lower than walking on Earth, which seems to be part of why exercise alone doesn't fully offset the loss.
