Background Mode will count their steps directly from the mobile device's Health Data app, with a daily limit of 3,000 steps. These earnings are fixed (unaffected by Efficiency or other bonuses) and do not add to the daily GST Cap.</p><h2>STEPN Sneaker</h2><h3>STEPN sneaker's types</h3><p>There are four types of ST<strong>EPN sneakers</strong>, including <em>Walker, Runner, Jogger, and Trainer</em>.</p><table><tbody><tr><td data-colwidth="154" style="background-color: #f9cf2e;"><p class="prosemirror-p-center"><strong>Name</strong></p></td><td data-colwidth="239" style="background-color: #f9cf2e;"><p class="prosemirror-p-center"><strong>Optimal Speed (km/h)</strong></p></td><td data-colwidth="257" style="background-color: #f9cf2e;"><p class="prosemirror-p-center"><strong>Base Return at Optimal Speed</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td data-colwidth="154" style="background-color: [object Object];"><p class="prosemirror-p-center"><strong>Walker</strong></p></td><td data-colwidth="239" style="background-color: [object Object];"><p class="prosemirror-p-center">1 - 6</p></td><td data-colwidth="257" style="background-color: [object Object];"><p class="prosemirror-p-center">4 GST/ 1 Energy spent</p></td></tr><tr><td data-colwidth="154" style="background-color: [object Object];"><p class="prosemirror-p-center"><strong>Jogger</strong></p></td><td data-colwidth="239" style="background-color: [object Object];"><p class="prosemirror-p-center">4 - 10</p></td><td data-colwidth="257" style="background-color: [object Object];"><p class="prosemirror-p-center">5&nbsp;GST/ 1 Energy spent</p></td></tr><tr><td data-colwidth="154" style="background-color: [object Object];"><p class="prosemirror-p-center"><strong>Runner</strong></p></td><td data-colwidth="239" style="background-color: [object Object];"><p class="prosemirror-p-center">8 - 20</p></td><td data-colwidth="257" style="background-color: [object Object];"><p class="prosemirror-p-center">6&nbsp;GST/ 1 Energy spent</p></td></tr><tr><td data-colwidth="154" style="background-color: [object Object];"><p class="prosemirror-p-center"><strong>Trainer</strong></p></td><td data-colwidth="239" style="background-color: [object Object];"><p class="prosemirror-p-center">1 - 20</p></td><td data-colwidth="257" style="background-color: [object Object];"><p class="prosemirror-p-center">4 - 6.25 GST/ 1 Energy spent</p></td></tr></tbody></table><h3>STEPN sneaker's quality</h3><p>Sneakers are classified according to 5 qualities.
