Knowing their left from their right doesn't come easily to children, which is why parents are loving this simple idea to help them.
With many families preparing their little ones for starting school this September, getting changed themselves will undoubtedly be on the list of worries.
That's why parents have been quick to praise the way shops are making it a little bit easier.
Next and Asda are among the retailers to include pictures inside children's school pumps, as an easy way for them to see their left from right.
Pictures, including the likes of dinosaurs and cats, are cut in half with the head of the animal on the left and the rest of its body on the right, so it makes sense once they're side by side.
Stickers for parents to be able to do it themselves have been around for some time, but now more and more shops are factoring the idea into their designs, making the back to school shopping a bit easier.
These pumps from Next , costing £5 a pair, are proving a big hit - showing the dinosaur picture and with space to write your child's name.
Salford podiatrist Lindsay Hill, of Axis Podiatry, said: "If children mixed their shoes up for a short time, it wouldn’t really have much effect, but if it was for a whole day, it would be uncomfortable and could cause blisters and maybe some aches and pain in feet, ankles and knees."
You can still of course do it yourself, with packs of stickers, available online from the likes of Amazon and eBay .
