Probability

I'm not that great with probability, but this doesn't seem like it is possible. When children are putting on shoes I would assume that since they don't really know that each shoe has a corresponding foot, the probability they would put the wrong shoe on the wrong foot would be about 50%. The actual chances of this happening are more like 95%. How is this possible?
