It means "Sometime in the past, I have experienced whatever it is you are experiencing right now."

That's correct, it means you can understand someone's perspective. If someone is going through a divorce, and you've already been through one, you could say, "yes, I've been in your shoes before." Meaning that you understand what it's like for them.
