"schreiten" is a very formal/proun way of walking. It is mostly slow-paced, and such a person most likely thinks very highly of themselves, is proud to some extent, in any case probaby important and highly regarded (something you would expect from kings etc., nowadays it's often used to indicate that a person is arrogant or presumptuous)
"treten" is mostly used as "to kick" (i.e. attack sb./sth. with your foot). When it's used to indicate movement, it mostly indicates a change of location, like in "eintreten" (to enter (building/room)) or "auf die Straße treten", which means something like "to make the first step (out of sth.) and "enter" the street"
Both are not used regularly anymore.

oh this is how it is 🤔 then how do we say to walk nowadays ? I'm learning german (again) with my books from school but apparently, a lot changed since then 😥
- German
"to walk" is either "gehen" or "laufen".
"laufen" can refer to both "walking normally" as well as "jogging" or faster paced movements.
