“Walk In My Shoes” Quotes
Ever heard the saying about “walking in my shoes” or “walking in someone else’s shoes”? he original proverb is of American original and goes something like: “Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes”.
This saying is to help someone understand others and also a way to feel empathy to before judging others. Because you never know what someone else is or has been going through, so we shouldn’t be so quick to judge!
A similar idiom is “put the shoe on the other foot,” meaning if the situation was reversed, you would trade places with someone else. Which, yes, would also have that person walking in someone else’s shoes!
This shoe idiom has become has been adapted, reinterpreted and mostly taken out of its original context. And this isn’t necessarily a bad thing!
