Abstract: A pair of design elements are suitable for display within the interior of a left and right shoe which make up a pair of children's shoes to aid the child in aligning the shoes for proper fitting onto the correct feet. The individual design elements are themselves complete and, further, are not indicators of proper alignment without their association with a picture story which may comprise a simple declarative sentence such that a mental step is required by the child in order to ascertain that the shoes are properly aligned. This picture story also requires the child to make a visual and directional alignment of the design elements in a left to right orientation which aids the child in gaining reading skills.
