It could be more terse and direct to say, begin by standing, allow the standing to progress to find its' own stability, zhan zhuang, ...and to be aware of the supporting foots' adjustment. The stepping is no more than the shifting advance of the standing. Three of my teachers all had a more succinct teaching via the query: 'what part of your foot are you standing on?, and then stepping on?' Answer, 'all of it'. Variously.
