Why This Must Be Read: While the title does give me an earworm from 'Rent', it's also wordplay taken from the saying: 'you can't really know someone until you walk a mile in their shoes.' The story is full of that type of playfulness, and it zips along, from the opening scene through the moment of realization that John and Rodney have accidentally swapped bodies, right up through the story's resolution. It's clever and fun, and well worth the read.

So glad you recced this! I loved it to pieces when I read it; it is definitely the best of the 'body swap' stories out there, cliché or not.
