    Note: This idiom is not difficult to understand. As one puts himself in another’s shoes, he is expected to feel what the other person feels. So, it means to allow oneself to see or experience something from someone else’s point of view. There is a similar idiom: “to walk a mile in someone’s shoes,” which means to “experience what someone has experienced.”
