When rehearsing Walking in My Shoes, keep the recurring hook rhythmically identical so listeners can recognize its return. Use the original recording of Walking in My Shoes to mark exactly where that change happens.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

Choose Walking in My Shoes when a lived-in, first-person delivery suits you. It has a clearly recurring hook, with room to shape the lines without cramming them. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
