It a well known phrase in America.


The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy, Third Edition.  2002.
 
If the shoe fits, wear it
 
 
If something belongs or pertains to you, accept it. This proverb first appeared as “if the cap fits,” which may have referred to a fool’s cap. The later version has become more common and is associated with the glass slipper in the fairy tale, “Cinderella.”
