English Idiom: Put oneself in another’s shoes
If you put yourself in another’s shoes, you try to understand a situation from that person’s point of view.
This idiom is often used in adverse situations such as sickness, job loss, war, etc., where it’s quite difficult to understand another person’s plight because we have never experienced it.
Putting yourself in another’s shoes can be an instrumental idiom to help us understand how others are feeling.
