Hi I'd say it's a variation on 'to be in someone's shoes', which is usually said by someone who wouldn't like to find himself in another person's akward/difficult position or situation. Perhaps it slightly expresses empathy for the other person, but not too much I think. '' ****: ''Wow, really?

"Walking in someone's shoes" means not to judge a person by what they do, because you don't know the adversity or hardships they've faced to bring them to their current situatation. You can use it thusly: "Try walking in my shoes." or "Don't say anything until you've walked a mile in my shoes." I hope this helps.
