When I first heard "Walking in my shoes" I must say it didn't appeal to me and I flipped it to "Condemnation".Well one day I put my cd player on shuffle and I was sitting and I heard this sound like no other sound."You stumbled in my footsteps."I loved it.I love Depeche Mode because they have that dark side to them but they also have that warm side too."Walking in my Shoes" is a great single with great remixes like one of my favourites "anandamidic mix".But I almost forgot about the b-side.One of the best b-sides produced by DM.An almost passion plee from David Gahan singing about the one he loves...........but at this time was it a person or was it heroin that everyone knows at this time,that David Gahan was addicted to.Very dark,ver moving,and very Depeche.

This is one of the most satisfying singles ever put in CD by anyone. It includes many remixes of Walking in My Shoes, most of them worth it, and also a track not available elswhere: "My Joy", which should be a classic.

What can I say? Walking in my shoes has been for a long time one of my dearest songs. There are amazing tracks and remixes here. The WIMS remix called Ambient Whales is one of the greatest remixes I've ever heard, and the one called Grungy Gonads Mix is may be even greater. WIMS, btw, is so beautiful and sad, and when i listen to it i just feel so relaxed and purified, especially to the end. Typically it's one of those songs that, although somewhat slow, makes you want to jump, run and shout filled with energy. The same applies to My Joy, which has even more energy. I think that My Joy is in the TOP 3 of the best DM songs.Passion - that's what it is about. I really can't understand why DM did not put it in the album - may be 'cos of the short lyrics - who knows. Anyways this track is awesome - a Chinese Wall of sounds - electronic, awesome drums + horns, strings (to the end). And that line "I am not a mountain, no. You move me!" just moves you so much! So you're not a mountain - move yourself and buy this single right away!!!!!!!!

The "Walking in my Shoes" single should be recognized for the outstanding b-side track "My Joy" It's what a good song should be, it starts of being catchy, with deep bass and echoing and a little distorted guitars, then ends on a more uplifting emotional drive with the lyrics "you move me" This song is "My Joy"

My Joy is one of the stronger B-sides Depeche Mode has put out. It's got a strong atmosphere to it, combining symphonic elements with a grunge-sounding guitar typical to SOFAD-era DM, is complete with lyrics and vocals, and also manages to be uplifting, which is somewhat unusual for DM. In addition to the 7" mix, the Slow Slide mix is also very good...in fact, it's one of the only remixes of a b-side I will listen to.

Walking in My Shoes is also a great song, and lends itself well to remixing. Some mixes border on redundancy, but some, such as the Anandemic mix and the Ambient Whale mix take the song in new directions as well as punch up the atmosphere allready present in the original song.

My Joy is one of the better DM b-sides, and the remixes of Walking in My Shoes are among the least redudant and strongest remixes of DM's singles material. If you're looking to pick up DM singles, Walking in My Shoes is a worthwhile buy.
