Put yourself in someone’s shoes

To “put yourself in someone’s shoes” means to make an effort to imagine how you would feel or act if you were in the same situation as someone else. If you “put yourself in the shoes” of a seller of a good car, or if you imagine how you would feel if you were a car seller, you would know the seller doesn’t have any way of proving that the car is good or not. Before being quick to judge someone for their actions, “put yourself in their shoes.”
